The I'm going out flying thread 2016

A pretty good day of flying with great friends.

Too bad I didn't come home unscathed. I blame Terry @Terryscustom for this. LMAO.... good times. Did someone say lower? Well, does rudder dragging count for low enough?

The wind kicked up quite a bit but still lots of fun. The Sukhoi is getting better. Needles still a lot fat, but she is coming around nicely. I would buy another GP 176 EVO any day of the week.

A short video of hovering in the wind. LOL....yikes.

We need to start putting cf plates on the bottoms of the rudder so it can be dragged without doing damage

I like grass runways! Drag and scrape with no damage. I did start building my foam core rudders with a little block of wood in the corder to allow for some shaving.
