5 Attachment(s) My newest addition to the hangar
Discussion / Posted by Easyrydr / Oct 10, 2008 @ 08:30 PM / 1,702 Views / 0 Comments / Reply
Today i was able to maiden my newest addition, the E-flight Sea Fury.
Of course the test pilot was W.M. "Bill" McNiel and then i got in a few flights before Bill flew it 1 more time so i could snap a few shots. I have to say it was the most scale flying plane ive had in the air yet.
I also kept my 4 year old son out of pre-k today so i could bring him out there. He loves doing it and as long as he has a controller in his hands, he thinks hes flying (or helping fly) . I couldnt have asked for a better co-pilot, exept for when he waits until i put on in the air to tell me he needs to "GO" ...LOL
