The yellow and blue plane that is a T-Craft if how do you like it, how aerobatic is it.

That is my good friends plane @DB4SPD . Basically a modified J-tec Taylor-Craft. Scratch built from plans but the wing is modified fully symmetrical with ribs of an Edge 540. Power is a DLE 111. Very aerobatic, smooth and stable. Hovers and torque rolls well. Not a "free style" machine but a "precision" flyer.


I like it a lot..... Hope you get some flying in soon.

Thanks for that I have seen them once at a meet and really liked the plane. It is some thing different and still has some nice aerobic abilities. Looks like the one to get is the one from JTEC, unfortunately it is a short kit wish it was a full kit I would then most likely buy one.

Just call and talk with Kevin or Al and see what they can do. I would think they could get you a full kit.

That’s not a bad idea I will do that later on this week because of Toledo.

It was a beautiful afternoon in northern Texas! So I went flying. I got 6 flights with the quads, 4 flights with the ARS and one on the Goblin.

A young man stopped by with his female friend and seemed to be really interested in it all. So I showed him everything I had and it seemed like he was going to get into the hobby! Cool day.

Nice stuff looks like you enjoy many avenues of the hobby. How do you like the ARS.

I love my ARS. It will do anything I ask it to and much more... The DA-120 makes it accelerate nicely from a hover which makes people around here impressed. I always take more than one type of craft with me to the field to change pace and to not get bored if I am the only one out there. That also allowed me to show that young man lots of different things about the hobby all at once.

I'm looking at my pics again... i need to get my aircraft down lower so you can see the ground as well!

We used to have a guy at one of the clubs I fly at that would always yell, "Lower" when we were attempting some wannabe 3D stuff or some times he would yell "Faster" when we did high speed fly byes.

He is no longer with us, but I still remember him doing that. It is as if I sometimes hear him saying that today in the back of my mind. I always got a kick out of it. The thing is, I would never get any lower, maybe a little faster at times.

It turned out to be a fantastic SoCal weekend, even if we did get random cloud cover on Saturday that only lasted a few hours
