What a beautiful day! Flew all day, had a blast.

Bill does Bob Dixon come out and fly anymore or has he quit?

That looks like a fun little fleet you've got there.

Wish I was there instead of snowy Colorado.  Very nice looking airplane fleet.

Haven't seen him in a couple years.

The Ringmaster and Wildcat are my buddy Daves. The rest are mine. The Sneeker had its first flights today, and was just perfect. What a blast.

Dave's Wildcat won a "Best Scale" trophy in Huntersville at 1/2A Day this September. Unfortunately, due to the broken pipe gas shortage, it was October when I collected it for him. Guess I better put it in the mail for the ol boy.

Didn't take it this time, too much other stuff to do. I did get my new batteries though and it is dead on ready.

I've had that done for quite a bit, and test flown but it was only this day that it all fell together. MAN that baby flies great, motor runs like a dream. It has the feel of a full fuse stunter.

Got in an awesome couple of flights on the Sneeker. I had a 10x6 on it for the test flight to slow it down, and intended to change to a 9x7 after that, but didn't bring one. Still plenty fast enough for fun and has an excellent feel on the controls.

 fine looking fleet you have. The wind finally stopped blowing so we went out for a few hours sunday morning,i have a cougar stunt that I scratch built off the net, after my first attempt of outside loops and inverted flight[ very shaky] thought id try a square, that's when I buried .35 merco  few inches deep , but just makes more keen. patched her up with some epoxy and will try again next good day cheers

That's kinda funny, my buddy Dave ( Ringmaster & Wildcat ) did his first outside loops this day. He crashed twice attempting, then was tearing it up the rest of the day. Outside loops are the key to so many other maneuvers, it will open lots of doors for you and him. I started practicing triangles with the Magician, and had several recognizable ones. I find them easier than squares, but I think I'm trying too hard to get the corners too square and bottoms too low.

also- I wanna see pics of the Cougar, please. Kenhi ?

my son and i got the plan for the cougar off a website called outazone, there's a small clip on yt of son flying his spitfire that we also scratch built [control line spitfire mk14].as I said in an earlier post we are very new to the hobby, and up until a few months ago didn't know there was a stunt pattern that people fly competitively. im in the process of building an electric powered accentor, I am greatful of  the feedback I have received regarding setup. my goal is to one day fly a full stunt pattern, but I will be picking up  a lot of balsa pieces between then.The cougar looks ok after the crash the wings snapped and pulled out of the fuse, I should get a couple more flights out of it.it has .35 merco,10x5 prop 3oz tank and weighs 1.2kg
