No more ARF's,BARF's,or hand me downs
« on: February 22, 2016, 06:03:16 PM »
After flying the ARF Nobler at the Nats last year(Akin to taking a dull butter knife to a gunfight) and getting the goose egg in the finish department I made the decision it was time to start building the model/finish it.This is my first scratch built "PAMPA" ship.It's an E version of Wesley Dick's Velvet recently published in Stunt News.There is more on this project in All Amped Up.My flying has improved enough that I won't mind pointing 400 hrs. work at the ground repeatedly so I've started another.........just in case LL~ LL~

Jeff, I have never liked you but, I must admit that's a cool looking landing gear strut on that thing.

See if I give you another old green nobler. If it ever gets warm we will go flying.
