Glad I could be there for the maiden, Chris! Was happy that you saved her on that first landing. The BB V-Tail is my favorite civilian bird since I was a kid. Thanks again for the invite!

Very cool Chris! Love hearing the prop beating the crap out of the air! I've worked on a few of these and flown in a couple,really nice old planes! Thanks!!

Hairy first landing. Although both looked like three pointers. Nice looking plane. Field didn't appear to be to busy, that makes for great flying! AirHammer out!!

Great build job- I have been waiting to see the V-Tail fly and she is as beautiful in the air as on the ground! Nice piloting too !

That’s a loud motor, what’s in it? I couldn’t figure out on the first landing why you brought it in why you were landing on a carrier. Gear door issues... That old chestnut. Glad to see you have having one of my many “Vu âjdê” (This has never happened to anyone ever before) kind of flights.

@Thercgeek

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that first landing was interesting, haha! I’ve already remade and reengineered the doors. I think what happened is the flap pushrod interfered with the door during transition and that’s what caused it the come undone. Won’t be a problem with these new doors. Motor is an eflite power 52 with master airscrew 13x8 prop. What you’re hearing is the prop noise. It sounds really authentic actually, I dig it!

The RC Geek Master Airscrew props are the best. I just like saying the name. Great conversation starter. I told them they needed T-shirts, and I would like to produce them at Bill Shepard’s facility, IF I GOT TO COME UP WITH THE TAG LINES- “Have you been Master Airscrewed?” “If you’re not flying with Master, you’re Airscrewed.” “Master Airscrew- It’s not the size of you prop, it’s how you balance it.” “Remember that crash you had? Bet it wasn’t our prop. The only reason you got it in the air was probably because of us.” “Master Airscrew- Made and Balanced in California. Not Wuhan.”
