Nice vid. That was a sweet landing. What equiptment you using?

[shayHelis]

how much time took for you to learn that? you was fly like that with out simulaiter to ? (if you  have)

[thebigbrownbox]

What a SWEET landing! Do you use those spoilerons that were showed in the first part of the video while you fly the plane?

[RCRedBaron]

@thebigbrownbox : Thanks man! I have flaperons and spoilerons built in on a Glide Lever, but havent deployed them during flight yet. I added them in preparation of some interesting maneuvers.

@RCRedBaron what's glide lever?

i almost lost my finger to a prop 3 weeks ago. i was hand launching a parkzone corsair and the wind blew it back and somehow i don't remember how my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off the bone. lucky a local business called an ambulance and i was lucky. its still healing but that was scary never hand launching again. Be carefull guys

[RCRedBaron]

@BROOKLYNDREAMS : My leg starting hurting when I read your comment. Ouch!

[Admiral1428]

Crazy stuff! I can tell that it must have been painful!

[photobart1]

Ouch! Looks like a big bandaid is in order. I have the same plane and love it. I had to re-enforce the area were the landing gear sits with bass wood and 1/6 plywood and the front leadind edge on both wings with 1/6 balsa wood strips. Have fun with your new plane. Love your videos.

[RCRedBaron]

@photobart1 : Thanks man, and yes, Ouch! After I got the bleeding to stop, I found chunks of wood prop still stuck in my leg. That hurt more removing them than it did when it chopped me up. LOL. What a way to learn a lesson about setting up new mixes.  Didnt even consider that would happen.

thats a realy nice plane :D i wanted one of thoughs but got a acromaster wich im fling for the first time today!!:D

[RCRedBaron]

@harveymacdonald Nice, you going to get video?

[harveymacdonald]

@RCRedBaron no because i have a rubish camra lol

[youtwoba]

Awe man thats raw, so you using wood props with electric motors, how's that workin for ya? thought you should use electric props for electric motors? I know you can do whatever you want right :)

[RCRedBaron]

@youtwoba : They are wood Props designed for Electric motors. When you fly a Wood prop versus a APC you can really tell the difference when you are trying to hang on the prop or other stunts. Its amazing. I didnt believe a guy at the field before I got into the 3D planes, but once I tried both types of blades, I was shocked at the difference. As usual Tom, Thanks for watching and commenting buddy!

[shangsandy87]

@RCRedBaron guess more rigid and less funny flex....

[TinkerManRC]

Thats a great little plane the Zack picked out.. Very nice Zack. she looks like she flys well.. 5 Likes////

[RCRedBaron]

@TinkerManRC : Hey Tim, Yeah its a great flying plane, and with all that wing area, it can really do some neat stunts.

[justlostagain]

GREAT flying! Very nice model. I enjoy watching our videos, thanks for taking the time to put them together and share them on here. Your son is a great little pilot as well. (My boys are just not into YET ... LOL.)

Keep flying!

[RCRedBaron]

@justlostagain : Thanks man! Sometimes I wonder about the monster I created in my son. Now he constantly wants to take over my planes. LOL.. Thanks for watching!
