Default RE: Christmas in August

Tommy really sorry to hear about the loss. I know you'll build another...I will. Mine is done up in Ted Williams VMF-311 scheme. I have 30+ flights on her so far...5 on the PST600R and the rest on Artes Falcon detuned to 18 lbs of thrust thru the PST pipe. I added a stainless heat shield around tailcone to solve the Falcon's radiated heat problem. Added speed brakes but no body flaps....definately not needed as she slows down great with gear and flaps. Concur with Dean's flight guide. In 10+mph winds I use takeoff flap setting for landing and don't need wheel brakes to stop. A note of caution: with full flaps and speed brake this bird will almost stop in mid-air!!!! Incredible flying bird. Here's some pics.
