I never did get my Escapade out for its maiden. Sadly I didn't get out to the field much at all this year. The times I did get out I was taking a Tower Razor that I finished a couple of years ago. The Escapade assembled quite easily and quickly. Paying attention to all recommended mods and concerns to be checked. Then I focused my attention on a Great Planes Giant Super Sporster. The size, mods and assembly have really stymied me. I was actually concentrating my time to the Sporster. Now the weather is going towards winter, I'll have to wait until next Spring for the maiden on the Escapade. It's amazing how work, home chores and other projects eat into my model flying. New Years resolution is going to be, "more model flying".
