Well maybe slashing his tires is a little excessive, so how bout $50 cash to let the air out his tires. He has a little electric air compressor to pump up his retracts with him in truck. Hell I go $100 if you get pics of him pumping tires bk up.

Let me know what he drives does he fly at TRCC?

He flys at Catalina Radio Control Club. Here is pic of his truck, Purple Heart tag on front, not many of those out there, so easy to find the right truck

Dammit, its 45* out with no wind......I'm going out to fly something. Something small, but not something digital on my screen sitting in my office!!!

As soon as all these workers get the heck off my runway!!!!!!!

@ChickenBalls, I will be watching out for it.

Got my first flight of 2015. Grade me on a curve, first time flying anything for four months. Maiden flight.......needs expo adjustment, KE mixing and some rates adjustment. Also, engine needs some break in and hopefully livens up after some time or DA70 will find it's way under this hood.

Congrats Terry. One question. The pop tops, the seemed a bit sluggish and seemed to only get 1 or 1.5 revolutions. Was that by design? Just rusty thumbs? Or something common to the EF edge? Or I'm just crazy?

Not too rusty thumbs.....lack of momentum. Same with my crankshaft. First flight on EME70 twin and hoping it wakes up big time. It'll be over a week before temps increase so next time out I'll try to get a few flights on it.....just need to burn some gas to get the break in process going. I tried a KE spin a couple times, need to get used to the EXP stabs on this Edge....never had one with those.
