Yep, I flew today. EZ*? No, Wild Wing. And oh yeah, it was wild!

I figure if I can fly in this, I can fly in anything!

That was some serious wind there

Now you just need to put some cams on so we can see some vid and mybe se your mug.

Scott forgot to mention a couple of other planes but there in pieces in his basement.
We also contacted Nascar and asked them if they would stop the race for mybe a couple of hours so we could go fly and not miss the race still waiting to hear back.

Gene, funny stuff. Eck, I used CA on mine as well, liquid nails would seem a lot heavier then needed for the task.

You might get your wish since the weather indicates possible rain delays.

Of course you can just set up the DVR like most of us and watch it later.

A chute as airbrakes would def work i think. I made one big enough to land the whole plane and it worked like a charm. Just two garbage bags and some string. But if you made on a quarter size you could have a real nice airbrake for landing i bet.

The Parachute Plane!!! (3 min 18 sec)

Yes, but one that you can't retract. If you want an airbrake, I'd suggest a servo operated flat flap on the nose...... or possibly just flaps!!!

.

I only mentioned the ones that could fly today- seems only fair-
and I am charging Batts and googling earth for new video scenery backdrop- we hate to fly from the same place twice-thats why i land in trees or crash into trucks so often- we launch from anywhere bigger than a postage stamp (or a ballfeild)

but some planes must have a proper field-alas the wing or the mustang needs space- I have never put a decent camera on the mustang- perhaps today?

just a note of pride-or perhaps incredulity- My silly RC music video will pass 1000 views today-now I wish we had practiced more- dressed better, and restrung the guitar-
Should I edit a blooper reel?
any Ideas for my next production?

Maybe just have the girls model each plane we own? with costume changes?

If the music video was for fun then you shouldn't give up you day job.

Don't worry- I won't give up the day job...
Since the X-factor hasn't call me like I hoped- nor The Voice...

Besides the apt. remodels pay for the planes and cameras-lol

Someone posted it on the Funny Video thread. That should have helped your view count.

I'am sure it did- and I thank them- almost half the views were from RC sites- most from this one...

Scott maybe you need a song about having multiple planes and the girls can do changes and such along the way. Sort like that Grorge Michael song where it's the same girl but dressed up different throughout the song.
