Well here are probably the last shots of my Kingfisher flying,, she had been due for retirement for a while and the last time out took a bad landing (some would say crash ) and needs repairs again,,, Might just not make those repairs,,, we'll see

She's been a joy to fly for over 15 years

Well that's kinda a joke, the one really bad landing was on flight #5-6, Radio/PCM Lock and it went in to the water full throttle, I rebuilt it after that and it's flown great since

She's just getting old and worn and needs major work to get her to a point where I'm confidant to continue flying her. I have all winter to think about it I guess,, No more float flys really this season anyway.

take care

Status: offline 		Nice! Here's my 2nd Neptune that I maidened a few months ago.






I flew at a M.O.B. Float Fly last May and crashed my first Neptune when I had a "Deadstick" too many. When I tried to land it down wind, it pancked resulting in crushing the wing and breaking the main spar. Here's a few pics of it before the crash. RIP I was in the middle of rebuilding it when a heavy shelf fell on it destroying the plane completely. It was my fault because I didn't secure the shelving correctly. We live and learn! Thank God I bought the other Neptune last summer, so it wasn't a complete loss.

Status: offline 		The original Sea Dancer was a 60 size build-it-yourself kit. RCM has the plans and Hobby Lobby kitted it. The kit went out of production 10 or 15 yrs ago.

The 120 size (also a BIY kit) was introduced in 1999, but unfortunately Fred Reese, the designer and kit manufacturer passed away after only about a dozen kits were made.

I found this one in Oregon. It had been built, flown with a 120 four stroke, and crashed before I bought it. After stripping the covering, repairs as needed, recovering and re-engine-ing, I am very happy with it.

It is aerobatic and very precise in the air, but the absolute best feature is the way it lands. (The photo in post #536 is a landing and the first photo below is a full flap approach.)

Status: offline 		I attended a float fly last weekend and tried out some homemade depron floats on my Flying Balsa Scout autogyro. Total weight of the floats were just over 4oz. I have to say the gyro flew quite well with the floats on and I was even able to do some touch and goes off the water. I'm waiting for one of the fellow modellers who took a bunch of pictures of the gyro in action to send me a cd with all the photos on it. 'Till then, here's a couple shots of it sitting in my Koi pond.

Status: offline 		My Elder Bipe was absolutely horrible at the field. So I hung it for 2 years and then had the bright idea to install floats. It went from a lazy field flyer to an aesthically pleasing float plane that I take up every calm night. Can't roll it, but slow and low are very rewarding. Anyone know where I can get more of these floats. I'm pretty sure they are Lanier Floats. Can't seem to load picture at this time.

Status: offline 		I finally got the CD of the float fly I attended with my autogyro. It is a Flying Balsa Scout with homemade floats made from 3mm depron. Probably the most fun I've had on floats in a long time, and with an autogyro no less!

Enjoy! DC
