Going to keep one thread going. Made it a point to go to the field, probably the last time before my wife gives birth.

Big day happen...for me. 2 months of work finally paid off.

How big are these?
 
Others look sweet as hell but the A-10 Warthog makes my knees weak..
<—— but I may be biased

They are coming out with a version 2 (update). I’m trying to hold out lol

Aren't you supposed to be trying to get some sleep?

I'll sleep when I'm dead. lol Seriously, I never slept that much. Tired sleeping pills but will never take anything that you can get addicted to., doc told me to take one, then two, three, etc up to 5. Took one, two, three and never fell a sleep. Took 5 and slept for 22 hours. Threw them out after that.
 
Here is mine from an old thread. I think the link is working now.

Aeroworks edge 35%, 3w100, Jtec mufflers made in Mooresville, all hitec servos with futaba tx/rx.

Video is probably close to 10 years old.

Great Vid !!

Thank you, I'm so excited to be where I'm at. I've been told it takes guys at least a year to transition in to jets.

haha whoa you waste no time flexing those skills at take off :) great vid!
 
Sad to say the A-10 is going back due to bad electronics. They are out of stock and so I got something pretty cool coming, Friday. IMO not A-10 cool but still pretty darn cool!
 
She is bad...


F-22 Raptor. This one will do 115mph level flight.

Just to show how big it really is.

My Dad ended up surpising me with a way better brand A-10 after having issues with mine. This is our jet, we built together and when he gets to the point can certainly fly it.
I haven't put on the decals yet.
Each fan is 80mm, 1.7m in wing span.

What kind of range do these have? At 115 mph it seems like they'd get away from you quick.

Friend of mine hops his up and it does 161 (clocked with a radar gun and GPS). These in clear open view can go out to 1 kilometer pretty easy.
 
Didn't post these two.


1.6meter Corsair. Prop is 18" in diameter.

So the F-18C that I pre-order 2.5 months ago, showed up. Scheme I posted above (Red Devils). Got it Saturday and was hoping to fly it yesterday. Didn't happen but she is ready, almost. Have a few finishing touches to do

Plane I was going for.
