A good crowd out today and lot of flying. Looked gloomy early in the morning but the sun soon appeared and it got HOT!

Jon maidened the Tucano Rob gave him late last year. the plane was about half built and jon finished it over the winter. Rob was on hand for the maiden this morning.

Marc had his almost wingless f-104 starfighter out today and flew it with the wheels removed. Jon did the launch honors and it flew off easily on the hand launch. very fast and smooth.

Jon flew a couple of flights on his hangar 9 Me-109. Awesome airplane, fast and smooth and sounds like the real thing. 6S power.

getting ready for a warbird flight. Alain (corsair), Jon (me-109) and Shawn (mustang). Harold was a warbird driver wannabe. LOL

The Tucano Test Flight exceeded my expectations, both in flying and finish. :o It really "Honks" through the sky with authority .The sound of the scorpion motor make a turbo sound,as if it were the "Real Thing" It sure beats collecting dust in my hanger semi finished.
The "Hand Shake" and Big Smiles tells it all. ;D

Wonderful,wonderful day.....Hi to all the other guys at the field ! You remember me :P Except Al. :-?
