Can't stop flying my old FT Explorer

[Winglet]

Recently resurrected my original FT Explored from storage and can't stop flying it. I sort of forgot what a fun no stress design it is. It is big and obnoxiously noisy. I'm perfecting the low inverted pass. Too much fun!

I also cannot get enough of this airplane. I fabricated a new nose, with a cut out for my "go-pro" type thing, and am having a blast with my first airborne videos.

Jaybird.

Hey love the plane, I'm about to get a Ft Explorer. Is there anything you think I should know before flying? Or any thing you wish you knew before your first flight?

I'd like to know more about that Cub-lookin thing in the background. Looks nice.

Reinforce the wings, they will fold

Advice before flying. Yes, launch it with reduced power with the nose pointed up at least 30 degrees. Give it a good hard toss. With a lot of power it will tend to dive at the ground on launch due to the high thrust line. Once you are climbing it isn't an issue. Nail the throttle if you want to and have fun.
