RE: My best Work!!!
There was no flying. I throttled up pulled up and that was all I did !! The plane did the rest itself. I figure when it gets moving to fast it blanks out the elevons. Worst part is he fixed it and I did it again!!! But this time right when it was gonna hit I nailed the throttle and gave it full down elevator and it rotated and hit the top of the trunk, knocked one side off and went straight up!! I nursed it to about 500' and found that if you just flew it around high alfa it would stay flying. I think it needs to be converted into one of the C.O.T. cars and then it would fly. Big spoiler in the back with elevons on it. Engine sounds Kick ***** though don't it!! LOL!!! I couldn't stop giggling Tracy says I sound like that old snydly whiplash cartoon!!

Sure does! Just put a scale NASCAR paint job on that bird, get it trimmed out, 6 view doc's and bring that thing to the worlds, cause the sound and profile are all there!

RE: My best Work!!!
That was the original idea. Ralph's son owns Braun Racing and the main sponsor in the past has been Great Clips and thats how we were going to trim the plane. BTW Ralph's son Todd will have his first car in the sprint Race at Daytona this year and four other races too. Daytona, Atlanta, Indy, Bristol and one more I can't remember. Along with two to three cars in every race in the Nationwide series all year. Car #32 Dollar General, #38 Great clips #10 Which is a pay as you go thing most of the time I believe. Sprint car will be #32 Dollar General. Shows who's making the money in this economy doesn't it. I'm not a Die hard Nascar fan but it's fun to watch knowing my buddy owns the cars that are usually up front right behind the sandbaggers. I feel real lucky to know this man and the accomplishments he has made throughout his life when people told him as a youngster, " That you should just drop out of school cause your gonna die anyway." Guess he showed them didn't he.

RE: My best Work!!!
Now that's how you control the end game.
I hope to get a chance to fly with you guys up there at Winamac sooner than later and meet Mr. Braun. I always hear such great things about the jet show you all host and by the looks of the pictures in the threads the past few years, it's all fun, day . . . and night!
In the meantime, that bird is way cool with scale speed to boot! I'll be looking forward to seeing that plane all painted up on the high speed pass video, and the loooong roll touch and go across the finish line with a checkered flag.
