Title: Plane flattens the ground
Post by: Paul Taylor on April 20, 2014, 03:46:51 PM

This plane does not stunt very well but sure smoothed out our circle.

Thanks Lou!

If you used a U-Reely, you could have expanded the circle diameter.

Is that a 'nitro' engine on that thing?

I see you've gone diesel. The pilot detail looks kind of fake btw >:D

No wonder it wouldn't get air borne.  Not enough wing area.   That is a good shot though.

Paul,
 Nice "scale" entry. Now all you need is documentation. LL~ LL~ LL~

I'm sorry, but using lines that are so hard to see is why they get stepped on and kinked. You really should start using more visible lines as a precaution.

I'm here to help.

Spider wire is very hard to see.
I agree more wing area needed.

And yes we may cross over and do scale. The pilot may need a make over. 😜

John, that makes me think of the aroma of fresh mown hay and also the smell of it when I would get in the loft to push some down to the cows.

Here's an item I built especially for my flying fields and lawns...it can be filled with water to add penetration:

Here's the work I've been doing to increase the diameter of this field to 100' :
