Finished it yesterday and I'm not working today so.... Light wind and my neighbor farmer (the inconsiderate oaf!) finally cleared part of my runway so no time like the present. Here's the pre-flight beauty shot. Happy to say that except for the right main gear coming off that's how it looked after two flights. And here's 5 minutes of boring video (both flights). If you watch on a medium size monitor you might see some loops and rolls. It's more majestic in the air than it is aerobatic. If you read my PS in tips and tricks on prop tightening, my opinion of 'store boughts' has solidified to this probably being my last. Flies good but nothing special. I'm sure something will pop up to make a liar of me, though

I'm glad that flies good, it looks awesome too. That is the main draw of the store bought stuff is the looks.
Store bought stuff is good where you need niche stuff. I like the toughness of EPP planes, but they don't make those in scale for whatever reason, and EPO is crumbly. I like my ranger, but yet again it is nothing special, and I haven't crashed it yet. I mean, I have flipped it thanks to a wonky nose wheel, but nothing real.

Decisions, decisions. Do I really need a house? You know what they say: "You can sleep in your plane but you can't fly your house."
