Default Rcpete"s Futura

HI all, thought I would post some pics of my Futuristic Futura, now 2 years old. First flown by Ali, then Pablo, and now by myself. Powered by a Jet Central Mamouth and painted myself.
It's a great flyer, but sometimes hard to see on a south field. One of the best landing jets out their. Lets see your Futura

this is my 2.5 meter. I love the plane. unfortunately repeated turbine issues have kept me from flying it more. it has 6 flight on it.

Here's Scott's Futura playing "peek a boo"
Believe it or not the Futura is flying and landed safely a few minutes later.

Yes Bob, we saw it live. This is one of the most memorable pictures one could have.

I was calling for Scott on that one. I don't think he will try and do a repeat of that trick.

I put flight 5-9 on my 1.9 M. Today. I added the optional tip tanks to increase visibility. Great flyer.
