Default DR1 - Whoo Haa!

Well I've been looking at this ARF sitting in my shop for months and finally the stars aligned so that I could fly it yesterday.

What a blast! Climbs like a homesick angel, turns on a dime, lands at a standstill. I can't believe how effective the controls are at all speeds. Certainly not a pattern ship, but nothing beats the look of three wings (four if you count the gear wing) bearing down on final.

The only change I made was to add a spring loaded tailwheel to absorb the shock without stressing the fuse.

Now I have to mount the machine guns!

What a great time we live in that we can get ARFs like this to play with!
