Cockpit video from an E-flite PT-17 r/c plane. Winds were picking-up by the time I decided to do this, at the last minute today, and fairly gusty down low. Just stuck the vid camera in the front cockpit seat without checking to see how it was lined-up. First landing attempt the wind pushed it off the asphalt in line with some rocks in the grass, go-around time. Then at 5:14 a gust tipped my wings almost 90 degs. Finally got it on the ground with a small bounce. :-O But an excellent plane.
@rg26100 : I'm using their recommended servos. 2 JR MN48 (elev, rudd), 2 MC35 (aileron)

Thx big. It flies good - once you get it balanced and trimmed right. A lot of people, including me, have had it nose up hard on takeoff and require a lot of down trim. Fairly pitch sensitive to, I have 25% expo programmed on the elev. Big discussion in rcgroups (scale electric section) you should maybe take a look at.
