Chris, Richard, Craig, Rick and myself out for a windless sunny flying day. Awesome!

A few photos, first Rick's little pitts.

Now that landing above looked really great until.......

Rick was muttering something about one wheel jamming up.

And now Chris's very neat twin. He dropped three parachutists but again I wasn't paying attention and missed that.

The wings flex pretty good when it lands.

It was a great day! Things that could have gone wrong didn't.
Excellent photos Al. I think E-flite put a fiberglass, vice carbon fibre, wing tube in that plane just to let the wings flex a bit.
