Status: offline 		As others have said, thank you for setting a level of excellence to inspire us all. I know for a fact that through watching your builds I've tried to improve my own building standards. I've enjoyed every post of this thread.

I still think your BA should be on a future cover of MA.

Maybe if an "ACC" BPA event ever gets scheduled I'll get to see your planes in person.

Status: offline 		Congrats on your fantastic build. I wish you years of winning flights with your Angel. In this day and age of ARF's and instant gratification it is truly an outstanding job that you have done. I am following your SBA 60 build with great interest. Club members up here in Connecticut had both back in the day.

Keep up the great work.

Peace


Mark O

The Blue Angel flies!!!

It was pretty windy today and probably not a good day for my first test flight but I couldn’t wait. The two guys flying before me were having problems landing in the wind gust so I made just one flight.

It flies great! No trim was needed but I made the flight short so I’ll have a better idea when I fly it again. It feels very stable even in the windy conditions. Seemed to fly right through the turbulence without bouncing around but doesn’t feel heavy. I think my wing loading is about right. My landing was a little hot but I didn’t want to slow it down too much with the wind gusting.

The video guy did a pretty good job of tracking it but the guy with my camera couldn’t track it in the air. I put a short 25 meg video on Putfile here http://media.putfile.com/The-flight-of-the-MK-Blue-Angel-60

Hope to get some more video on my next flights.

Think I’m going to love this machine!

Many thanks to all the people below that made the project possible for me and for other RCers that would like to build a Blue Angel in the future.

Ron Ellis, plans, wing temples and canopy
Tony Howard canopy plug and canopies
Dan Hines wing and stab cores
And all the folks that provided background documentation, history, variants, color schemes, and the nice comments about the build.

To be continued…
