Default ARF's versus KIT's the saga continues

Hey! Jim,

I went and checked out your worlds flight with the Fokker, congrats on the landing though I didn't get to see it.

Thanks! Have you seen the pics coming up on the MAAC website now? Some nice ones starting to appear in magazines too. I think my Grandmother may be reconsidering the scale of this 'toy airplane meet'.

A truly humbling experience competing with people of that calber.
I'm still waiting for video of that landing... I've seen countless videos/pictures of my botched takeofs.

There will be a next time and I will build much bigger... 1/6 scale triplane, swirling winds and pavement are not a mix I care to repeat! At least I still have the plane, in fact I'm touching up the pavement scrapes to get ready for some local scale rallys/contests coming up soon.

Again, Kudos to APC props. Who would have believed a prop could survive a full throttle stop on pavement only to be re-fired and flown successfully!
