    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    Got the maiden in fellas... What a beautiful day of flying. I truly feel a little guilty with this post considering Davids day did not end quite as well.

    Yikes.... what a nasty shame. The field I used to fly at was similar in some respects. The runway was about 400'. And dropped off on "both" ends. Not to mention 50' to the north and it is a deep canyon to the housing development below. Oh you can fly glow guzzlers and fity cc'ers all day long...

    Pilot 40% 330 Recover and Build

    Ok fellas... "OMN" in, time for an update. So here is how it all washed out. There are times that you "just" know in the pit of your stomach that all is going to be great. There are also times that you get that sickening feeling that "DOOM"...."DOOOOM"....."DOOOOOOOM" is around the corner. Maybe...

    Boy you hit the nail on the head brother. Been awhile since I was "biting my nails" nervous. But definitely the case. Ah but heck, If we were all sissies in this hobby, there would never be any experience from "downed" and "dirt napping" planes right? Yup, get lots of my "emoticons" from...

    I'm loading and going. I truly have not been this nervous about a maiden since my Behemoth Yak (2). If in doubt, mash the gas pedal on the beast "Dub" and go!!!!

    Now I understand your reluctance in having things (Wings West RC Paint) shipped directly to your home. Just the 13% tax would have made my covering for the 330 nearly $200. And my paint almost the same. I love all you Mukluk wearin' Canucks. One of my longest and dearest friends is straight...

    I am more than ready. I just can't wait until tomorrow. I sure wish that 85 had shown up today. United States Postal Service in their Infinite Wisdom delivered the prop however not the new badass redhead Beast for the SD yak! Yeah, you know I called them and reamed them royally. I asked them how...

    With the last of the assembly details addressed, the bafflingly completed and the Falcon 32x10 bolted on and torqued down... the Pilot RC 40% Extra 330sc is ready for her maiden voyage. Unfortunately it will have to wait until Sunday morning. Last minute request (demand) lol... that I work...

    Show Me the Biplanes!!!!

    I'm pretty sure I still have Bill's personal email and possible his phone number. I will try to locate it/them when I get home. I can forward them to you if that helps.

    So true. Good looking wings. @WMcNabb, what size is that? Nice recover job @Edge_pilot

    Pilot 40% 330 Recover and Build

    Thank you so much. What a great idea. I guess we'll have to wait and see what her personality is like. That SD 260 is a pretty tough act to follow. Three days away. Unless I have to put it off till Sunday due to my work. Either way, weather permitting she will spread those wings this weekend.

    Thanks. And no, not kidding. Turns out it is from a friend of a friend. Crazy small world huh? Who knew? I would have bought new, but I got a pretty good deal and saved over 700.00 all things considered. http://www.giantscalenews.com/threads/3w85cs.10680/ I am so excited I can't stand it. LOL

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Is it just me or does it twist everyone else's cookies when you see painting like what @Jetpainter puts out? I mean, I slave away like a chained and bonded prisoner and I come out with Ok results. Yet Doug just goes to town and lays it down like it is childes play. Grr.... LOL. Beautiful Doug...
