For me flying at Top Gun with you all more than a PRIVILEGE, it is an HONOR...I had a wonderful time sharing this passion. Even though I did not do such a great job flying my metal flying box (Zenith 801) , I had a blast.

It is always great to renew ties with friends and fellow modelers, appreciate their flying masterpiecesl, learn from you all! Scores???? well, That is the icing on the cake!

Hopefully next year I will come up with a much nicer airplane..

Again, Thanks so much to all af you!!

David Hayes at that thing at the Fly-4-Tots 2009 but it was still under construction. When he hits the retract switch, the entire lower wing and gear assembly lift upwards into the upper wing. The inboard portion of the lower wing folds 90 degrees into the fuse, while the out board wing tuck up inside the lower surface of the upper wing. Amazing piece of engineering.

I think Ken caught it on video

Fantastic model, I have never see or herd of it before, I thought the pilot just climbed to steep and stalled it. I hope he repairs it.

Status: offline 		Ken,
Looks like a ton of work putting that together,and I appreciate it. But I am having trouble with many of the pictures,they won't enlarge,and if you click the link for the high res pics it says "page cannot be found". One example is all the close up details on the L4 cub. No big deal, I just wasn't sure if you were aware of this. I'm sure trying to fit so much stuff on one page is a nightmare.
