SR-71 Rocket powered

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.

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!

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?
