Donnie brought along a couple of his slimers plus a plane he's considering coming over to the Darkside with.....
It's a scaled down Stick that he's scratch building. With today's lipo and brushless technology I was wondering why he scaled it down. |

We did Mike, I'll post a few shots of what I was occupied doing a bit later. It was one of those "don't do this at home" types of things....

Nick maidened a nice looking Corsair. His new plane looked great, he wanted someone to throw the thing and take photos. I had the camera, Donnie was messing with his slimers so Nick had to throw the plane.
I have enough trouble walking and chewing gum much less throwing a new plane that belongs to someone else and taking photos. |

Not to be outdone by the electric guys, Donnie got one of his slimers out for some high intensity flying. I had a hard time tracking his plane but managed to get some shots while he was doing flat spins and landing.

Not to be outdone, Nick took one of his brushless Multiplexes up and did several touch-and-goes without landing gear. Flying electrics, we can restart our motors if we want too.

And it flies great. About enough for me to go to Harbor Freight and pick one up.

I plead the fifth on the other shot, notice I got up and flew after that instead of continuing to sit in the chair..... You guys did ask for some fly-bye shots of the Wild Hawk. |

Yep, now I'll be in trouble with Mike and the other staff.... Like I said, don't do this stuff at home and especially not at organized flying fields.
