RE: proctor albatross maiden flight
The plane looks beautiful.
You have done an excellent job so enjoy the results of all your hard work.
Paint scheme is great.
Looking forward to more flight pictures.
I have a MOKI 210 in a 29% Bucker Jungmeister and have been very happy with it on FAI fule.
Good luck and thanks for posting the pictures.

Eagledancer- Congratulations, your D5a is an inspiration!
One question if possible, I read somewhere that you switched to in-wing servos after having trouble with cable pulleys. Did you use a second receiver and battery in the wing or is there a way to route wires down the cabane struts?
Paint job is outstanding.

RE: proctor albatross maiden flight
the servo wires will travel down the water line from the radiator, i have the water lines and the windshield to make yet. you know how it is a scale plane is never done we just quit adding details.
thanks guys and yes my wife did take a video but has not had time yet to edit it (video camera wouldnt focus at some angles)
first landing wasnt that good either i forgot how slow this plane lands lol i set it down and it started to fly again so i got 2 landings on one flight lol
second flight i greased on the landing but she didnt get video of that one dont it figure?
