Very nice Smitty, if you think you had problems with your Roo before, wait 'till you see my pictures ( to be posted Monday ) in the last 3 weekends I stuffed my Roo because a really bad nose steering servo ( change now for a stronger servo ) could not get a flight in at all, it is good now I took my bird to the field with high hopes and it paid off, on the first TO run I had to abort because it just veered to the left ( thanks G my brakes worked this time, no more BVM brakes stuff in my airplanes ) on the second attempt it departed the ground just fine, on the second flight no problems on the TO run and I used my smoke system ( Tam's ) for the first time, all I can say is !!!!WoW!!!!! smoke ..............mmmmmmmmmmmmm and my landing was smooth and the braking, tremendous and smooth....haaaaaa what a relief, too much building not enough flying.

Cars,

I know what you mean about the building thing - it seemed really weird to go fly, not have to work on anything at the field, come home, and just put it in the garage ready for the next flight! I do however need to get a new canopy because mine doesn't seal just right - I placed a "wanted to buy" add but no one has responded so I guessI'll just bite the bullet and order a new one from c-arf.
This one will work for now but it's pretty ghetto!

Damage, I don't have a picture of the canopy, Friday I will get to it when I get home.

I was finally able to get some of the picture up loaded.
