EPA Called me about the smoke after working on your settings, Turns out you pissed off a whole block LOL. Oh and I went back out after lunch with the fam to give the extra another shot test and tune. Got a few good pics.

Got out yesterday afternoon with @Flyrcjoe for an unexpected huck session. Forecast for Saturday was rain but ended up partly cloudy. I forgot how much fun it was to fly in a cross wind. I REALLY need to work on wind corrections. Wind was blowing hard enough that the plane wouldn't complete a wing over into the wind. Nothing like a 45° slip on approach to land!!! Best part is, nobody else wants to (or is stupid enough to) fly in it.

@emtp275 @ChickenBalls Both pics very cool! wish I could have been there but was traveling back from a family visit up in Richmond. I might go out tomorrow if the wind is cooperating!
 
Well just checked the weather and high chance of t-storms and the wind is up so since I am taking the day off from work looks like some shop time is in order. Need to get the ultimate programed . Having an issue right now with the radio setup. Got the aurora 9 binding done but cant get the throttle to come up.:mad: Time to trouble shoot.:ninja:

Hells yeah. Now that is what I'm talkin' 'bout. I wanted to buy one of those Extra's, but didn't see the need for one. NOW, though? Oh yeah, I think I need one with like a 61 or DA 70. Hey @49dimes, gimmie back my twin. LOL...nice looking plane.
