Default RE: Flying Yellow Aircraft F-18 Twin

Put about 60 flights on Lou V's Chippy HO with an Olympus HP and being that it's about 10 lbs lighter than mine, it probably takes off in less than 500 feet and stops even quicker.

I got one flight on Kenny's twin P120 powered beast and that was a hoot...can't have too much power.

Just flew Ken Le's Chippy HO with a P200 at CA Jets and although I couldn't get the gear clean it was mooooovin!

Mine still flies the best!

The plane's BIG and has alot of drag in landing config. I'd put the Titan in a Tamjet Superhornet and wait until I had a bigger motor for this bird. Sure the original plane was flown on ducted fans...but we have made some progress in the past 25 years (haven't we?).
