I Fly Nightflyyer's Gas Powered FLYING WING.

Dave brought out his antique Flying Wing which he hadn't flown in 33 years. His flight was successful, so he let me fly it. I had never flown a gas powered model before, so this was all new to me. I don't know how to set the needle valves and all that good jazz that goes along with getting these engines to run, so Dave did all the 'dirty' work, and I just got to have some fun! I thought I was an RC addict before with all my electrics. Now I'm DEFINITELY hooked. I gotta get me one of these!!!

Looked like a cross wind landing? Dead stick, crosswind landing, your a beast!

@magicmike1122 Thanks for the great compliment. It was a dead stick, slight crosswind, couldn't hear the airplane, challenging landing.

@rele30 Hmmm...ice cream in July sounds tasty. I'll have to rattle Dave's cage about that one.......lol

Fantastic. I really laughed at some of my own comments and was happy to see you fly the gas one. Next I will have to let you take a few rounds on my Gas PT 19. Choo Choo!

Thumbs up and good flying. ~NightFlyyer~

Hi Jeff,

Just found this video. Great job on the deadstick landing in a stiff Iowa crosswind!

Awesome flying. Perfect timing with the train in the background.

[WildBobsRC]

Ah, sweet, thats pretty cool, I said the same thing Jeff, I'm hooked , now I'm out buying nitro stuff,lol, good job flying man~Bob

@ramis182 Thanks.  Like I said in the video...I could hear when it quit, I only felt it when it ran out of fuel. I'm lucky it ran out where it did, otherwise the landing could have been a lot uglier.
