    NEW Avios Grand Tundra (unbox and flight test video)

    That is so cool! I have been wanting a plane like that for something different from my bigger 3D birds. Hmmm.... might have to think about it.

    I have had it for a few years. It is the old tried and true. I just can't complain on how reliable and great flyer it has been. I usually turn to it when I am a bit rusty.

    Nice! I got out also later this afternoon. About 5-10 mph here also. The wind sure was the total opposite today from yesterday. We had gusts up to 60! It sure felt good to finally do some flying!

    We would gladly take some of your rain here in western Kansas. The last measurable rain was the first of October.

    My shop has floor heat in it, and I really like it. It is very comfortable to work in. It can be 0 degrees out, and I can work in 65-70 degrees inside. I highly recommend it. I just got a major upgrade to my shop the other day. Something I have been wanting and needing for my business for some...

    We had a little warm spell today, before a cold front rolled in again this evening. It got up to 54F out this afternoon and totally calm winds!! I got out and flew the Viper again. That plane just keeps getting better every time I go out with it. It is super stable in harrier flight and...

    I was able to get out again this afternoon, and fly the Viper again after I got it re balanced. It was a complete different plane. It is real close now, maybe just needs a tiny bit of fine tuning on the balance. I will have to say that the DA 100L I have on the front is a real power house. It...

    I finally was able to get out and fly this afternoon. Its been way to long, but anyway it was a really nice day got to about 66 F and maybe 5 mph wind. I limbered up the fingers on my faithful 30% PAU Extra. It was then time to maiden the Viper. I somehow messed up when I balanced it, because...

    I did have to shim out the servos on the elevators, but you could get the new 777A they are shorter and would fit without shimming. I have the 2" arm on the 380 on the rudder, but it is in the 1 3/4" hole.

    I have a ready to fly weight of 27 lb. 4 oz. I have yet to fly the plane:( Been crazy busy with all the fall harvest activity for the last two months, so no flying time. @Terryscustom said the the fuselage isn't designed to take the power of a DA 120, and the performance with a DA 100L is...

    Unfortunately I have not got to fly the Viper yet :concern: I have had some other things come up that have been taking my time, and now corn harvest is going to be starting very shortly and will be taking all my time for the next couple months. So I am not sure just when I will get to fly the...

    I got out tonight to fly. Had an absolutely perfect evening. We have had a cool snap here the last few days, was mid 70's here. Its been awhile since I flew last. It sure felt good to twiddle the sticks again.

    Same here we had about 4 inches of snow this morning. I sure am ready for it to warm up and stay that way.

    I was able to finally get out this afternoon. After all that rain we had it turned windy, but today was almost quiet all day. Had a blast. Sent from my SM-G930R7 using Tapatalk
