This is my latesed addition to the unique liveries, the first was a 90mm T-45 with Honda racicing livery then I did a NORAD demo team livery on a Freewing 90mm F-18 V-1 and a Canadian demo team on a Jepe Jets 90mm F-18
All 3 of which I've seen on many other birds since, so I can only wonder about this one, Freewing 90mm F-22, the last shot is of the Raptor on the CG testing thrust vector operation, ready to maiden,Thanks for looking,...Continue Reading

Just got the Model Sounds Inc. system in my Carbon Z T-28 and loving it.
Sounds awesome in the air, missing some of the lower frequencies due to phone recording but you get the idea!

Getting more comfortable flying a heli again! Nothing fancy, just glad to be able to move this beast around, and hold a steady hover so the guys on the ground can get the "Perp"!

Progress, little steps! (2 min 49 sec)

Got into helis again and can say for sure "bigger flies better" as I now own a 700 size bird. Wish I could have afforded this back when I had 450 and 600 size birds, cause what a difference! I'm sure also the new flybarless systems would have helped too! This one is an Align 700E that I changed to flybarless and installed into an old Hughs 500 fuse, got a great deal, plus couldn't swing the 7 to 8 hundred for a new one. I'm in the process of making it a Police type fantasy bird, Judge Dredd, if he had one!

Got one of these Hobby Top Gun Hawks, came epoxy coated, kind of nice actually and a surprise as I was unaware they were made this way. Assembled it,flew it twice and decided to change a few things.
First was the nose that resembled a porpoise then the struts/gear that can handle only the softest of landings,one of the mains busted on the second landing. Third was the overall scheme of these great flying birds! They are either Red, White with orange(Navy) or a few Blue ones. After extensive searching I found a novel scheme by an artist that did several renderings of jets and planes in F-1 paint schemes,
