Sky Fly Video!
Hello park flyers!
I just made a video of my Sky Fly. It has modified tail surfaces for better response. Let me know what you think of the vid! Thanks for watching!

Yeah, we were at the highest place we could find. There are so many trees around! We've lost many planes in those trees LOL

Thanks for watching
I posted some details of the mod on the Sky Fly thread. I used some foam scraps from dead planes to make the extensions. I was lucky enough to find scraps that match the sky fly
I used some toothpicks and Foam Safe CA glue to attach the extensions. See the pics below
The mod really helps this plane. Before the mod it was much harder to fly, especially with the power off. The control surfaces had almost no authority when shooting landings. Now it responds much better.

LOL I'm glad you enjoyed it! I know I did [>:]
Thanks for the welcome. I was thinking about getting the t-hawk!
I also have a Nexstar (big nitro trainer) that I'm hoping to learn to fly soon.

nice well I stated off with the t-hawk and from there I went to a .40 duraplane, then to a 4 stroker .91 stuka which I converted to electric on 14 cells. AXi out runner motor. = 1.1 HP. With that desing of the T-hawk and Sky fly you'll learn fast and fun. Best the luck with the Nexstar BTW.

RE: Sky Fly Video!
yeah I so afraid to fly it. It's only been out 5 times. 3 I biffed the landings. 1 I totaled the landing gear. But She's RTF now. But I'm not. LOL
