Plane flattens the ground
« 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.

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

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.
