Thank you.
My 1st venture into CL Electric Stunt!

It definitely feels strange not hearing the engine. It
really feels smooth in air.

Yes Sir Rick.

I am a member of Brodak's and it is my home field.
Please look me up. I will be on a golf cart somewhere!

Moved up to Intermediate this year competing in CLPA & Nostalgia 30.
New Midwest P-63 King Cobra for Nostalgia 30 event.

Nice, seriously thinking about building one of these although, I don't think mine will come out looking as good as yours. Are you on 65' lines?

Per the late, great Mr.  Alan Brickhouse (designer) recommendation I fly on 60' x .015 lines.
Alan designed the Legacy 40 around the "Dreadnaught" airplane.

Great aircraft for glo or electric!👍
