74" Edge 540

Bitter sweet day yesterday... Put my one of kind 74" into Brian Stachan's hands after he bought it from me. He'll fly the crap out of her, so I'm happy she's going to a good home... But still a little sad.
That's what I get for letting him fly her Sunday and fall in love!

Gary I know the felling... I sold my 74 to a fellow club member this past Sunday and I am sad she is gone...

Wow...must be that kind of week...I sold my 58" Edge this week to a fellow club member cause I'm upsizing and he needed a new plane after crashing his Sebart SBach and he took one look at my 58" Edge and fell in love.

Rob, will you adopt me? ;) :D

I'm in the same boat as you...work, kids, college, loans, airplanes, TAXES.
I'm grateful that I can find a little time each week to do something related to this hobby that I love.
I just wish I had the reflexes of a younger R/C pilot. :)

Mike, I would but can't afford it... :) :)

In Jacob's video...which is some nice flying BTW....go back to :18. I (and some others maybe), would have landed to check out the plane to avoid a total loss. Sort of like checking the oil, tires, etc in your kids cars, you know they are not doing it. :)

Shucks, I understand; I can barely afford my own kids anyway ;)

Regarding the "move" at :18, yeah, I know, I saw that too....that was a rough start, I think I would have had to land just so I could change my underwear after that save. ;)

yet another impressive demonstration of the toughness of these airframes!
 
I was hoping to finish up a few RC projects today, but instead I went to work for OT on a day off to pay for household repairs. Being an adult has it's downsides.
