Amazing how a nice coat of paint brings a model to life.....nice work!

[Cold_Gambler]

Very nice

Thanks for the "work in progress" pics.

[Enforcer57]

Yeah, cool. Sure looks like a hellcat to me.

[Tonar]

Well I went off to maiden the Hellcat this weekend, but then the wind did not blow hard enough.

[BadAim]

Wow, that is beautiful. It's great that you get to live near a place like that.

[Tonar]

Well I did the Maiden flight, she was a bit tail heavy, but flew well with some trim.

this is a quick video of the first flight, mind you the landings are usually not that rough,

I'll post another later.

Enjoy

[BBloke]

Wow.. looks great.

[Tonar]

yup,

need the wind to create lift up the slope, no wind = no lift

[Enforcer57]

What a neat place. Those things are pretty durable it appears.

[Tonar]

Like Nerf

I just had to re-read your very first post to find out that it was supposed to have no engine.

[BBloke]

yup,

need the wind to create lift up the slope, no wind = no lift

I know that but how bad does the wind have to get before you stop flying?

[Tonar]

I have flown in 55-70mph winds with 1 kilo of lead taped to the plane

The problem is you can't stand up and stones are flying around.

When the guys are flying the Carbon birds here I hide behind a big rock and always watch the thing.
