Got the modified UltraSport up yesterday for five flights. Boy was it fun and enjoyable to fly one of my old planes that was scratch built in 1985. It had not been flowen in a long long time. But boy was it fast one of the blow hard guys with a big 40% plane at the field said it was slow and only looked fast because it was small. Well the out come after some debate he got smoked in every way possible upwind down wind you name it. One. I must say a painted plane is nice it looks as good as the day you built. Easy to clean and no wrinkles at all and no edges lifting I must I prefer painted planes any time. Plastic coat is easy and you can do it at anytime in the house and it is quick and light but if it was not for 3D where weight is so important I would always paint my planes.

Flew a nitro powered plane for the first time in a few years, a Phoenix 7. Forgot how fast they were. Flew the new/ used Aeroworks 540, lots of power with the DA 120.
Rolled out the 40% Sukhoi for it's first visit to an airfield. The DA 170 started in a few flips.

Well went flying today now that the storm has passed. Got the UltraSport all finished up and the PB 3e gyro all hooked up. That took some doing. The software sucks the support sucks. After days of running around and many emails to so called experts I found a gentleman in Florida that new exactly what I was talking about and got me through it and thanks to him it all works now. Just have to spend some tuning it and optimizing it I think it will be very helpful in windy conditions. Time will tell.
