Nice models.
Now you have to do it all over again this weekend. #^

That Shoe String looks familiar! I see you still have a meet chopper at the business end too! ;) If you will remember.... n1 to keep your finger out of it! :-X

Well yeah, but it looks like 57 (which I could handle) but 14 MPH winds, last Saturday was PERFECT.

DANG, Cut yourself once (OK twice) in in 57 years of modeling and you just can't live it down!!!
HAHAHAAH!!!!!!!! Yeah I've learned not to fly tired

They may be meat choppers but they work so well in many applications while being repeatable if you damage one. I have some planes that I have tried many props on and come back to APC's because the performance is just way better. They just require lots of respect.

I've discovered these 11-4s work very well on a McCoy .35, respect for sure, both ways!!!

Yeah, you have to do it for real this weekend. Also the model looks nice and the airplanes also. H^^

Thanks guys. Robin's been learning to fly, she's flown both these models and says she really likes it. Hope the interest holds, it'd be nice to have a pretty flying buddy unlike so many I've had over the years!!!

Well Randy; After, what, 10 or more years, the crankshaft in your McCoy 40 broke at the end of a flight at Tulsa last weekend. It started sagging in the overhead eight, but made it through the clover sort of, and then when I leveled off it locked up and spun the prop off. The Magician landed nicely, but did not try to make that last two laps. De Hill sent me a McCoy 40 that had a good shaft but bad piston, so I took the best of both engines and have one that looks like new with great compression and good fits overall. I was pretty sure your warranty had run out. LOL. That engine had been in three Magicians, and a couple of other planes. It is the best stunt engine I have ever run.

Wow, yeah, the warranty is run out. HAHAHA! Glat to hear you're getting lots of use out of it. I still haven't replaced it.
