jan_heuthorst | 22-Dec-13 05:50 | This was my highest adrenealine shot ever in flying RC: SR-71 (always a favorite) and RC and powered by a rocket engine. Helas the ground was not completely flat, so when I took it in for landing it, the view was blocked so I had to land it blind. It dit not completely survive the landing. |
jgood | 23-Dec-13 22:44 | Arg, I hate it when it disappears from view on landing... A horrible feeling to lose sight at that critical moment! That doesn't look like winter time in the NL though! |
jan_heuthorst | 25-Dec-13 15:36 | Nope this was last years summer. takes a lot of practice though to fly this plane: about 1500 flights on the simulator, and i did my calculations by hand. checked them on the webfora, only to find out I was right from the beginning: the bird was underpowered. Exciting flight as a result! Should trust my own education and calculus.
So, James, where do you live these days? UK? |
David Duckett | 27-Dec-13 02:45 | James now lives in California. |
jgood | 29-Dec-13 09:11 | That is true! |

And James, where in Cali do you live? |
