Damn that thing is stunning 🔥

[@barqwoof]

Pete, please let Steve know that those lapses will come more often and last longer as he approaches my age. Thank both of you for sharing. Jim

lol - im there already at 61 jim ☹

[@johnmajane3731]

He stated right out he pulled the wrong switch, good for him taking the hit instead of blaming someone else. Did a great job flying it.

thanks john

Congratulations from Brasil!!!

thank you clayton

[@gpaje]

I've hit the wrong switch a few times as well, beautiful bird. The servos on the land gear must to pretty strong to still fold in at that angle already on the ground.

[@stevekilbon8395]

Thanks for posting mate.. 4 new props ready to go on and a new set of gears for the servo.

[@tbobborap1]

cheers steve

It appears to have the right wing flap was wiggling around on short final. I'm glad all went well.

[@avipatable]

Both port engines quit too, might have been awful if a go around was required! Very nice model :)

Would be much better if it flew at scale speed rather than flitting around like a bee!
