Well, it finally happened, today was the day, nearly a year in the works, I finally got to put Jacquie on the sticks of the Eagle. She did pretty darn well for a first timer to r/c. What a great day! Hope to do it again sometime.

That is absolutely AWESOME!! Congratulations Robert!

I forgot to mention I added an altimeter. I did not think I flew over 400' and for the most part I don't. I only broke 400' once by 3' on a vertical climb into a split S, started out going to do something and bailed into the split.

What a great video! The plane sounds just awesome and I really liked how clear the video was.
Kinda seemed like I was standing there watching.
Good Job!

Thank's brothers. And to think @kork, with a two blade prop it gets even better. But then again, after watching that vid again maybe not. It does sound spot on and running like a top. The Eagle is grounded until I can make some minor repairs, one flying wire attachment point is not tight, and the canopy is in need of replacing for it is starting to crack. I have two other birds in the shop I have to get done with first, maybe by the end of next week. And the next time out, and any other normal flying day, it will be sporting the two blade prop.

cbarnes0061, that would be a Swanyshouse Primo 60 with an RCGF 20cc engine. It is in need of an aileron repair, maybe a two hour job if I can ever get to it.

I went through all the MOJO's then moved to the Primo, all his airframes are superb. That CF tube is a life saver.....

Yes the fuse tube helps tremendously. I want to build a mojo with the promo wing. Just like the looks of the mojo fuse more but like the idea of the thinner wing to loosen it up a bit.
