Robin's learning to fly. My left hand is learning to fly.
Score:
- bad engine: 1 (more in another thread)
- me: 1
- Robin: 3 or 4, depending on how you count
Two airplanes broke but repairable, one engine that seemed good here but acted dorked at the field.
Robin likes flying electric with a throttle -- it seems to cut down on her crashing. I converted a largish 1/2-A plane to electric with a car-radio throttle, and that's what she flew. The plane in the middle picture died on the test flight, with me at the handle. Stupid left hand.

A Mooney! I like it.
5 min and some CA glue and the small plane will be gtg

The Mooney, too, for that matter. We broke the small one in half already and put it back; we stopped because we were out of time more than anything else. I couldn't put the Moony back together in the field because I didn't have any foam-safe glue with me, and the tip weight had ripped out (again -- I'm going to re-think the mounting of that).
There's a build thread on the Mooney, if'n you're interested. http://stunthanger.com/smf/building-techniques/build-cartoon-scale-mooney-mite/ (http://stunthanger.com/smf/building-techniques/build-cartoon-scale-mooney-mite/)

Yeah, I saw that thread. I didn't even notice the Mooney was broken because the small plane looks so much worse
