The rain finally stopped! Maidened my Skymaster F-4!

The rain in Cali finally subsided, so I pulled the Phantom out for it's maiden flight. This plane is awesome! Tracks like an arrow and is fast around the turns! My bird is powered by a P-200 and I took advantage of the extra blow on the second flight. Thanks to everyone that helped me get her squared away!

Nick,
He has a P-200 in it, looks like the larger F-4.

Dantley, what did you do to mod the outer main doors and keep them shut when the gear is up?

Ron, looking forward to it! Save some space for me near your fortress.

Ian, I used a stiffer spring. They still pop open a little bit.

Awesome maiden Dantley... I could of swore I saw grease fly off them wheels on landing. Very nice, I hope my JL F-4 maiden goes as well. If you would be so kind, could you please PM me your control throw settings for comparison sake? Or just post them here and I will log them.
