Yeah, but still a chance for a mid ground and I should probably still worry about my own safety

I would have to agree....I've seen you fly.
Note to self: Grab a cold Pepsi while the Monkey does his tree climbin'.

As promised, Here is the video of my sons maiden on the PAU 43% Edge. I am a bit prejudiced because he is my son, but honestly I think he did an incredible assembly and maiden on this beast. Not bad for his very first "GIANT SCALE" plane.

Other than two 50cc'ers, this is his first true "big bird". I am so proud of him. Quite an accomplished pilot too.

Smoke on!!!! Nice set up. These planes really do fly great. Easiest plane to land I have ever flown.

Ah so glad I don't have to travel any more just taxi out of garage take off from drive way. Well I did until my Bride made me put a fence up and a gate up. 80 95 percent humidity.

Just checked my home email, seen one from Horizon hobbies. Self Landing Planes, it's subject title was. How many other pilots do we all know that could use that feature? Lol

Beautiful airplane. That is my favorite scheme that I've seen on a PAU. The new Viper scheme is a very close second.

I dunno.... laying your transmitter on the ground while your plane lands itself is just...well, it's umm....just not right. LOL. The new GPS on these planes should prove to help cut down on pit area landings. Well, 'cept for @49dimes. Ya gots to take off before you can crash into the pits....

Hmn.....Laid my transmitter down and my plane crashed the "pit" just fine! Even had an auto throttle up feature!
