I agree. I was thinking while watching the video that, Billy you got to stop using your phone for video of maiden flights and get a good camera with a zoom

Very nice Billy!

My eyes don't zoom when I fly. I'd rather see how the plane presents itself as naturally as possible (for video...obviously photos are different). Billy's quality is far better than the maiden/test flight videos coming out of China.

Billy D, I know where you can get a Sony Digital Handycam with a 120x Carl Zeiss digital zoom for the next flight! Great flying Jim and looked fantastic in the air!!

She looks amazing. Now lets get another 15 flights in and see how she holds up. Im really concerned with the lack of testing. But its sure looking promising so far!

Every so often I'll tone down the maiden flight after all you don't see F-100's doing rolls on takeoff too often. The airplane flew great, really love the slow speed flight, comfortable, locked in really sweet when setting up for landing. Hope to be flying it often at Titusville next weekend, learning what it is truly capable of in flight. The Mammoth is the right power for the F-100, she's big and bad, needs the power to make it right.
Jim

Please post as soon as you have the light kit option available, I'm down to just 2 jets and looks like it will be 1 by the end of the week, this would be great but only with the turbine.
