Down..[]..sorry brother....needless to say...I'm not jealous!!..Hope you get over it soon....

On the other token...are there any photographers out there that like to take pictures of RC planes??
I have a very good digital SLR camera but would like to get the max out of it while taking pictures of RC planes!It would be nice to share some experience when possible

I went flying yesterday. Although the temperature was chilly..there was very little wind and it was a blast to fly...at least...for me it was. One of my friends has a Edge 540 profile plane with a Magnum 4-stroke .70 engine in it! One hell of a conbination. What a beautiful acrobatic plane that is with super power!Although my O.S 61FX had some trouble firing up initially, she did fine throughout the day, providing the usual power for my T _ _ _ T. Then my other friend...he had his brand new Carl Goldberg Tiger 2 plane for the second flight day...and crashed!!None of us had an explanation why he ran it WOT straight into the ground. He stated he had no elevator whatsoever, but the linkages were still connected and his servo was still functional...Here are some before- and after pictures for you guys...

I upgraded my starter to a Hobbico high torque one...my good ol' starter was not able to get the .61FX started through the compression..I was due for a new glow plug igniter as well and found a nice XTM 2400NiMH igniter at the hobby store...Very nice igniter. I'll keep you guys updated with pictures since I am somewhat lucky to be able to fly still here...
