not sure how to reply, not liking you had a hard time with it but the fact it's an awesome looking plane
What Did You Fly Today
- Thread starter Wildthing
- Start date
OK, WOW! That was almost a candidate for the "what did you crash today" thread. The crack above was more than a crack once I unhooked the pushrods from the servos. Can't believe I actually got it down on that last flight, unless it split the rest of he way on landing. Got Foam-Tac on it and am checking everything else out before heading to the field. Same with the La Belle Dame.

That is a nice looking model, pity it isn't in balsa I love the old vintage planes.
Well, it knda looks like a balsa with the coloring that came on the foam.... Guess it is a Falsa.... LOL
Found a link to it for info only https://hobbyking.com/en_us/duraflytm-retro-series-junior-1100mm-pnf.html

How was it? Flying in the rain? It sounds like it could be awesome.,.
Didyou waterproof it somehow?

It's not bad, actually, so long as the wind is down and the rain isn't too heavy - it's only a VERY light Spitfire, after all!
No waterproofing or anything - this is how it comes out of the box....

Got in a few flights yesterday, couple with the nitro Maddness which I call Big Bird 
, plus the Extreme Yellow. Extreme Yellow is starting to show it's age , well some of it is from thumps and bumps but it's not quite as true when doing loops and rolls, good old FB is getting warped and bent.

You and your buddies are awesome. I bet you wouldn't get snotty if I came to your field with a foamboard plane.
But I wouldn't be able to understand what you're saying!!

had a family reunion today at a park with a few soccer and baseball fields. last time I looked it looked a bit small, so I only brought minis with me - wish I would have brought something bigger cuz once I stepped to the field it was quite nice
it was a bit windy (meaning bigger would have been better....) but I managed to put several batteries through my umx P47 and umx Pitts. Nice day and good for the conference leading up to this Thursday!

Had the most successful day at the field I've had before...
Got 2:30 on the scaled up old speedster...
And my brother got 2 min on it as well....
The I also remaidened my scout, it fly on rails.... Until I flew into the sun......
Lost orientation and landed in an extremely dense forest.., luckily I found it.....
Will post video soon... I think I need a proper tx., as when the plane gets maybe 100m away the motor starts acting like crazy... It looks awesome to bystanders but is horrifying to the pilot
