Nice! Looks like she flew great :).


Love it.
Thanks man, flew just like expected. I want to step it up though with some more speed. Gonna be trying different props and batteries.
I did a ton of fighter jets, loads of prop slots then we migrated to more scale looking jets and the only way was to go to pushers and after a while I got tired of the jets and started doing old warbirds. They all have their place and it is fun to fly all the different types of planes. If anything the wider scope of planes you have it does help your skill level. That big jet is a heavy weight with a ton of horse power, if things aren't perfect there is no mercy and as you see I am starting over on a complete new build. :)
I have been donated some old Tx's. Does anyone recognize these?:

I see you did the cooling vents in behind the cockpit, wonder where you come up with this brilliant ideas :ROFLMAO:
Color looks good, I like the black on the cockpit windows!
What happened with the wrinkling, was that from the paint?

Lol. I’m not too good with spray paint (yet) so I got some wrinkles... you won’t be able to see this when it’s in the air though, and that’s where it’s meant to be!

Fair enough lol

Got some drone footage of the A-22 on a 8x8 prop:

Need to do some better planning with the drone pilot.

I did get over 8 minutes on the 8x8, kinda surprising actually, mostly at 3/4 to full throttle.

Tomorrow will be the 8x10

Haven't forgotten about this, just busy and will have the finances ready by this coming Friday. I may try to order the kit earlier but speed build kits are fairly quick so no big deal, and I'll be ordering other parts and stuff on Friday anyway, so I'll have a good selection of fresh new parts for the Charlie.

Wow - you must have fast shipping! From California to California. I know California is a huge state though...
