Hi! I have a new F-7 Stryker. It is flat bottomed, no landing gear, must be hand launched. I flew mine today for the first time in the only open area I could find. Damn that thing is fast. Nose entered ground at mach something and has only superficial damage. I Tried my own hand launch style. The gash in my index finger is only about 1/4" deep by about 1/2" wide. The wind was gusting all over the place. Learned a lot today

Some day I hope to build a Giant scale plane using two samurai swords for a prop. Rotsa Ruck, GD
