Hi,

So after nearly three months of no-fly due to work, I dusted off my Y/A F-15 and massaged the 1/2" deep flat spots (from sitting so long) out of the foam tires. I went out to the field and gassed her up. Voila! She started right up and was all in-the-green without the slightest hesitation. Two perfect flights followed by greasy nose-up landings, then off to a fishing boat to snag some Dorado. Who could ask for more?

The engine is dialed down to about 28#, but even with that it's mostly a half-throttle bird except for when going straight up. This engine is awesome.
