Just got the plans printed for one of my favorite fighters. Erik (foamcasualty or tvcasualty here on RCG) has put together a great looking set of plans for this next blue foam project and it just happens to be about the perfect size for my runway and workshop. I know I should finish a couple of other warbirds I've got hanging around here, but will probably start cutting parts templates tonight.

Heading out to the strip to do another taxi run w/ the Top Flite P-47. The weatherman says it's only 99 degrees outside now, it was 105

Finally got around to flying the F4B for the second time today(7/4/11). Looked fantastic in the air and flew great. Landing was slow, down the middle and graceful. 3 pointer!

Second flight ended soon after takeoff w/ a dead stick in a wheat field. Not pretty. The section between the firewall and leading edge of the wing is trashed.

Most graceful plane I've flown I think and the largest electric. I'll rebuild her again, but w/ a few more balsa sticks and a few slight design mod's.
