Quartus -- quite right ... it doesn't need ''fought'' ... just firm is enough. Immensely enjoyable gun to shoot.
Bill .... Haha! Billet .... yeah, you ain't the first to use that word on it!
Well ... my bones are aging too ya know ... near 60! But they manage ... much is down to technique, tho I would admit it ain't quite an ''all day'' gun ... not to mention the time taken loading for it!
Yeah ... R/C .... a passion of mine. Glad to find you enjoy also. If mods will permit a small excursion from topic (grovel!) ..... here are a pic or three (haven't got pics of a few smaller ones on hand - they are just some .46 size fun planes)....
This first is a last year's plane ... Ultra Sport 60 .. but with a .75 motor ... climbs on the prop! Very versatile and will pretty much ''fly the book''. probably my most exciting plane actually.
Then, the Ryan STA ...... this is the big one .. got it together this winter. It has Seito 120 under the hood .. beaut to fly and very graceful ....... reasonable performer but only for ''lazy'' acro really. Had a slight mishap last time out - touch and goes .... somehow right wing dipped and hit ground, enough to spin it on ground - wing bust! Was I annoyed! I have a new wing kit now and just need time to get it all back together - be flying in a week or so I hope.
Final pic ..... a ''G-Shark'' ... bought this off a guy and it does not need much doing. Quadra 50 up front ... only gas motor I have so far .... and yet to get it set up and in the air. Soon I hope.
Do let me know what you get up to in the airo sense .. if in doubt PM me .. I am being a bit wicked posting here!
