It's nice to know success is possible lol. Clearly you are a MUCH more experienced pilot.

I am newly back at it after a 19 year break. Been at it a couple of months now.
I was pleased with the flight today. Seems stable and I hope to find more room to fly to open it up a bit.
Thanks...

Nice one I built one about 3 months ago after 40 years out of rc building flew like a dream only thing I changed was to carve the turtle backs out of fruit box foam regards from Oz

Nice build and maiden flight! I really like the undercarriage/landing gears you have on it. I have the plans for the Spitfire all setup, but haven't cut foam yet.

Fun to be back...isn't it? Good idea on the foam turtleneck.

Thanks. I had that landing gear laying around fro my past RC days. Rubber banded it on and put some skewers in the bolt holes. So far so good.
