Stop flying in the winter? Why would you want to do that! I got my Funtana on the friday after christmas, I had it's maiden flight on sunday. Anyone forget to look at the clock when they are working? I stopped at like 2:00AM sat morning. Woke up, worked all day saturday, worked till 3:00AM sunday morning. Woke up, set throws and CG, went to field!

I just finished up a stick built modified version of a barn stormer (.15 size)

I have just rebuilt a 60-90 size P-51 mustang that someone wrecked. Still need the engine

I completed and maidened a Pacific Aeromodels 40 size Edge 540T .... Love this plane!

I have the AW 40 size Edge 540 at about 90% complete....this one is for sale

In progress is a new Zagi 400X for combat and a Canterbury Sailplanes F20 slope glider both at about 80% complete

At about 50% completion is the Giant Aeromaster and the Pete N Poke

Next on the bench is an Avistar for the club trainer, a Mini 3D by extreme RC and then the U CAN DO 46

Got one other that I don't think will make it before flying season...... it's a 27% Midwestern Cap 232

Hey what can I say......been busy!!!!

That has to be one of the most beautiful models I have ever seen. What powers your C-17? 4 turbines would be sweet if that is what it has. What are the specs...I think everyone here wants the info on this big beaut!

EDIT: Do you have more pics too!! I would love to see the landing gear setup, must be complex! Is that a detailed cockpit too?? PLEASE MORE PICS!!!!!!

Might do that I keep hearing this rattle in the fully sheeted wing, I think I fogot to tighten the screws on the aileron servo. Or it could be my missing class ring.

The wing is defective. Take it apart and find out why. Or fly it and see if the servo falls out.

Currently working on a 1/5th scale L39 Albatross with a P-120 turbine. Also waiting on delivery of a King Cat from BVM, also with a P-120 turbine. Hope to have both finished by spring. I also have a 3W Xtra Fun ARF fun fly with a 3W-24 to finish if time permits.
