I d really like to get some pointers from you on flying this thing.

Jason
Hey Jason,
The best person to get pointers from is Jason Somes, he has more flights on this bird then any of us combined. I only have two flights, so I wont be handing out any pointers until I am locked in on this baby....all I can say is that it feels awesome gripping the sticks on this machine.

Dave,
Thanks for the heads up about the video...awsome!!!! Also, thanks for the set up pointers. Making the changes now and going to fly the "black bunny" on Sat. at the basin. Can't wait!! You sure did a great job of piloting and Kenny did a great job on the video.
Congrats!! See you at the "Best in the West" next month.
Be well,
Lowell

Boy that thing is a real mail hauler.
Must have been nice out there alone in all that space.
And whoooaaaa, Kenny's a real shooter. That footage was better than 90% of the linked vids we see here.
Did you notice any airsoft pellets on the ground while you were out there?.

Congrats Dave your F-4 looks great and fly's amazing, those low passes looked great. Put some lights in and a chute and you are done... This is one of my favorite jets.

Dave,

The jet looks awesome...nice job!

Just wondering...but where did you get the graphics for it? I have been searching all over and keep coming up dry for the BA F-4 graphics.

Great job again...

Beave, my F-4 came painted just like this from Skymaster. All lettering is painted on, and the finish is outstanding!
