Aha! Strafing sheep!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Many thanks to my good friend Nakayama san for taking the pics.
There is certainly a special satisfaction to be gained from building from scratch.

No pix there, obollox, you forgot something! All you have posted is the addresses in your computer!

Images could be too large in size or resolution. Therefore the attachments failed.

I got a "Fatal Error" when I tried to post the pics. I suspect they are too big and need to be resized.
Please tell me the max size for posting pics and I will have another go.
Maybe you could add that info to the "Inserting A Picture From Your Computer" post.

In response to the "How does she fly?" Very little trim was needed to get her in the groove, bags of power with that big hyperion motor. (4025-12 / 6s 5000mah /15x7 apc) Control throws as per plan. Bit slow on the rolls probably due to the small size of the ailerons, put 30% expo on the elevator. I'd say the CG is just right at 90mm with no tendency to tip on taxi and landing.
Half flaps was just right for landing, she wanted to roll badly with full flaps, so I'll need to look into that and add some canons!

Lovely build Obby - looks great. I usually size my pics down to about 1250 x 928. JPG format and then remember to click on "insert". I don't use anything else and have no problems. Example attached. I apologise for intruding on your thread - just trying to help.

Just a question Obby, why don't the retracts, um, retract?

Do it now, you may never get another chance
