I finally ordered my ARF

[Tony]

Yeah, it's go the power. And it went into the air, but not without a mishap that required an emergency landing. More to come in the video.

Wow, what a friggin draggggg.......

 

[Tony]

What part, the hitting the fence (that is now repaired), or the emergency landing?

Man that's too bad. You ought to know better than try to fly a big plane in you back yard though. Lol. In hope it's only miner damage.

 

[Tony]

I didn't try to fly it. I was doing camera testing trying to see if there were any vibrations out of the prop cause I'm thinking about mounting the camera in the canopy looking out. Well, I didn't notice any vibrations, but I found out the 13x8 prop has a crapton of thrust lol. Lifted the plane up and surprised me. By the time the tail wheel got back to the ground, it was just too late.

Lol oh well! I watched the video. You knew it had tons of power. What's this about the field and emergency landings?

 

[Tony]

You will see in the maiden video. I'm editing it now. And yes, I knew it had power, but I didn't think it would take off the ground that fast. Now I know lol. Don't go full throttle unless you plan on taking off lmao.
