being a cheap ******* - I decided to switch to electric fan fold stuff for tail in the grass flying -
so far the worst disaster has been two props at 2.75 each
and a bit of duct tape -

No video from yesterday's flying. Click on John's website to see other vids of these planes. Both are great 3D machines!

Hopefully we'll have some footage from our fly-in this weekend. I'll be running around trying to run the event but should have some time for a flight or two. The aircraft impresses me every time I fly it. With the spinner on it I need more throw for 3D but the CG is just about right for IMAC flying. It also lands faster now. Did my first Unlimited sequence with it yesterday - the plane's certainly capable of it.

Sounds sweet Ryan. I am patiently awaiting the new 2.3M Extra arrival to see what I am going to do. I can't wait!
