    I have just changed out the Aileron Y harness and installed two new 30" extensions, so I can set up the F-35 with spoilerons as a few others have done to make the landings just a little bit slower. Running the two new servo extensions was a little bit tedious and took more time than I thought it...

I flew my Air Tractor first, then got two flights each on my 64 mm Twin A-10, and my 80 mm F-4 Phantom. One of the guys I...

    I finally got tired of the spring actuated tail wheel assembly and modified it with solid linkage. WOW what a difference. I also finished installing the strobe light on top of the canopy and used a Y harness to connect it with the existing lighting. The main gear modification I made also works...

    One of my flying bud's came over and I am helping him with the assembly of his new Flight Line P-38 63" wing span. The worse part of the assembly is the wiring, what a bucket of worms and where to stuff it all. LOL!!!!

    I did get time to go back out and had a friend of mine get a video of the third flight with the armament on the A-10. The added drag of the armament does slow it down considerably. With full flap and armament landing was quite different and does drop in at a steeper angle and slows it down much...
