And take the friggen underware off of it before you take anymore pics! Jeesh man, you want the whole world seeing your shorts???

Looks good shorty, but you really don't need landing gear, if you fly like you claim!

We Don't care about stinking shorts The plane looks great. Thanks Gator for the PRO-BRO I have been using thin clear milor Bought at Tap Plastic to protect my printed decals. It is cheap sold by the foot. It is holding up to glow fuel great. I have a frog right next to the exhaust on my 540 and it is not even showing that it is breaking down.

Now I know why he goes by "Short"man. I always thought it was a height thing but I guess it's all about the underpants.

Hey let me clarify something, my buddy Brian Borra covered the plane (per his request), as he uhh likes to work on my plane for some reason. He thought it would be funny and threw his new Hanes underwear all over the plane.

Dude, you prolly ought to not let your friend have loose underware in your bedroom. At least not do it, and then post it publically!

Well, most people take their "Magazine" shots at the field, on nice grass. Or with a pretty girl. Shoot, even with a bikini draped over it. Any-damn-thing but guys drawers all over it. Sorry.

Exactly!

The plane looks great, but come on man what did you expect? Did you think we wouldn't notice? Did you think there wouldn't be he!! to pay for such a photo????

Also I am concerned about how well that little blue hitec is going to holdup to the vibration of the engine? Hopefully you will fly this one day and we will know!

LOL, i go onto rcu and I see my underwear... I didn't mean for him to post that pic. I just wanted him to laugh. I was bored what can i say ... but being the overachiever that he is, he took it a step further and posted it here. Disclaimer: All underwear was clean, right out of the dresser

AKA the speedo bandito.. J/K

Its going to be done here quick. Servos and radio equipment need to be installed but are all ready to drop in. The HS 55 should hold up okay I am thinking. My other Saito 72 I had never shook that bad. It was actually smoother then my two stroke thunder tiger.

Enough teasing
