Bush Plane Build Challenge II

[The Hangar]

BTW, CPBD is Compulsive Perfection Build Disorder. From what I have seen posted in these forums, I think we all have it.

Yep, for better or worse...

That is the problem with CPBD. First U go nuts, then insane, and if U R not careful, this could eventually lead to a divorce.

Or bankruptcy!

She is for sure! She sees Josh and the guys on the FT videos flying in the heavy wind and figures I should be able to do the same, if only it were that easy LOL, eventually I'll get there.

Here's the long overdue vid I promised of the PC-6! My cousin @Captain Blocker Made the song and edited the video (and I forgot to post it until now). I cant wait to get this capable airplane out to a nice bush plane spot to film the real challenge!

Very well done. That use of car shocks has opened up so many ideas for me to use.

Here is some footage of my maiden day from last weekend, basically the Beaver has a bad ESC I think and I have to address that back wheel as you'll see. last part of video is the demise of my MS Corsair, I sucked LOL!

Fun day! That Corsair looked pretty tail heavy, do you plan on fixing it and flying it again?

Man those are beautiful builds. I have no doubt you'll figure it all out. And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that has troubles sometimes! It's all progress and experience.

That it is LOL! To me that was a successful day , went out with four and came back with three! I'm expecting a much better day next time and I have to look at the up side, my other swappables benefit from the Corsair motor now, those Racers are gonna ZOOOOOM!

I dunno, For me, it's go to the field with 3 pieces and come home with 3= good day. Go with 3 and come home with 5= not so good. Go with 3 and come home with 2= very bad day and I really wished I could have recovered the wreckage and use the electronics for something else.
