    What Cam software you using?

    Very cool! After I finished my last scratch build from my own plans I was going to do a 50cc pattern airplane, but I've change my mind so may times it's ridiculous. Sport plane, bi-plane, pattern plane.:oblong:

    That's a good looking airplane in your avatar.

    I've been waiting to get my Hangar 9 Extra back in the air before I take the Edge apart. I don't want to miss any good flying days. The parts for the Extra should be here in a couple days.

    He's talking about selling it again to start a new project.

    Here is a video of trying start my GP61 last Sunday for the second flight of the day. It only took 29 flips.:lol2: I took this with my Mobius camera attached to the bottom of the bill of my hat so it's not great. This second video I posted just to tempt @stangflyer ;)

    That would be the ideal thing to do which means it's the last thing that could possibly happen.:lol2:

    Yeah maybe this winter I should change those decals. I hate to give DA a bad starting reputation. When it had a DA50 it started super easy and ran like a good watch, just didn't have the power the 61 has.

    Had a great day at the field today. There was almost zero wind all day. Unfortunately that made it pretty toasty when you were standing out there flying, it made the high 80's feel pretty nasty when you add in the humidity. I've sweated way less on 100 degree days with a good breeze. The lack of...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Nice! But keep an eye on the clamp that attaches the pump to the handle. It looks the same as the one they use on the electric version, and my buddies electric one the plastic clamp is failing. His is a few years old, so they may have changed some things since then. I liked how his worked so...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Back to what this thread was opened for, I finally did get shipping notification on my prop and spinner from Northwest RC. Hopefully that means I'll get to fly my 35% Extra again by next weekend.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I certainly didn't mean to belittle anyone. We all have our little idiosyncrasies, and things that annoy us, and I guess two things for me are no wheel pants, (I am the self appointed GSN wheel pant Nazi) and starters on gas engines. If someone is physically incapable of flipping one, that is...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I would quit flying gas before I would use an electric starter on a gasser bigger than a 20cc. That's kind of a thing for me, we have a few guys at our field that can't make a gasser run if they're lives depended on it and they use starters on them all the time and still can't get them started...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Damn, I was hoping to fly my 35% 300X Sunday. Well I guess I should start rubbing the Blue Emu on my shoulder now if I have to start that GP61 again this weekend.:(

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I ordered this from Taildragger Tuesday morning and it was here already today. USPS says it won't be here till Saturday. ;) Unfortunately the stuff I really need that I ordered Monday night from Northwest RC hasn't shipped yet, at least not that I can tell. Maybe it will just show up.

    Hanno Special! Fancy stuff right there, not to mention pricy.

    Some guys just have such amazing skills. Ryan Mowry from my club has always amazed me with his talent. He did a noon time demo at our Warbird event this year with a Top Flite P47 with a DA60. The first half was just your typical type of Warbird flying. Blazing low passes and victory rolls, but...

    I'm anxious to get it back in the air. It's been a month since it was laying upside-down in a bean field.

    Those should provide more than enough juice I would think. A Li-Po is certainly more capable of delivering high amperage than a Li-Ion.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I ordered some stuff from Northwest RC and Taildragger last night. If it all shows up by Saturday I'll get to fly my 35% Extra Sunday. If it doesn't rain. There's a lot of ifs in there.
