Now you're talkin'. Funny, My son said the same thing this morning as we arrived at the field. He put on a short sleeved T-shirt and shorts thinking it would be warm. LOL, he turned to me and said how chilly it felt this morning. Ah heck... I didn't even notice. LOL

Good to see you got out too. Dang, for as many times as I see that Sukhoi there are just as many times I wish I had it. Simply bad ass cool.
It's funny how 73 and windy can feel chilly when your used to 95!

It was the first time the Sukhoi has been out this year, and only the second time I had the Edge out. Last time I had the Edge out we had a lot of problems getting it started, so I richened the low a tad and it did fine today. That GP61 has never started like my DA's, but it sure hauls the mail!
The DA200 in the Sukhoi ran awesome as always. It always amazes me how quiet that thing is with the canisters and a 30x13. It will rip the prop depending on the weather, but at everything but wide open, it's super quiet. You here the prop more than the engine.

Nothing compares to a quad. Sound, beasty power and just think of the cool factor. The cool meter slams the needle hard over and bends it off the gauge at... "Beyond Cool"! Lol

Have to say, that Edge of yours is one of the sexiest schemes Pilot RC has ever done. I think Kermie is looking for his ride.

Thanks! I really really wish I would have gotten the 120cc one when they were still out. It's an absolute crying shame that Pilot killed that Edge. I'm just not a fan of the one they have now.:(

I guess I am in trouble I do not like wheel pants. I will put them on a new plane but the slightest thing happens to them they are gone, will never repair them either. So I had better take all my pictures and cut of the wheels so I am safe.
Sorry to say but I like to see the airman wheels I’m so proud off
