Byron Originals "Striking back"

[TuFun]

I remember going to the local RC airfield and seeing a prototype P-47 using a 4 stroke single (1980's). The aircraft was built from fiberglass. He was talking about how nose heavy it was and would make some design changes.



What a great show of WW2 fighters!

Local RC field.

Tufun, I remember that kit. Was a precursor to the ARFs we have today. MRC had some nice planes back then.

Dug the plane out of storage, still look in good shape. Never crashed or hard landings.

Was more worried of tranport by the movers when being tranfreed from base to base in my military days.

Now if I can only find that radio. It's in another box fitted to an RC car. Anyways probably better to update that to.

Vintage 80's RC buggy kit cars, even had to build the shocks and fill with oil.

Sure make my little Me-109 very tiny!

HOLY COW. That is crazy. I had no idea they had RC at this scale and level of intensity. The sheer financial investment must be massive, not to mention the time and talent to build and stage something that crazy.

Very cool. Big kids gone wild...

I really want to meet the wives of these guys... those must be a special breed of woman.

my first thoughts were two on this 109. First that the prop looked small for the size of the plane. second, it must be very hard to land and taxi that bird because it has such a narrow wheel base. I know real ME109's had that issue.

 

[TuFun]

Wow! That is one big chopper. Excellent stability and flying skills!

I dunno.... When I watched that video a tune came to mind:

Jumbo R/C Carrier Launches Model Airplanes

R/C Planes Land on R/C Aircraft Carrier

This would be excellent for air battles... really cheap to build. Loving that kids are involved! Easy to build and no fuel to mess with.

 

[trucker17]

Striking back has launchable aircraft carriers in it.....
Naturally they are munch larger.......

Tufun.
PM me.....I want to pick your brain....LOL.....

 

[trucker17]

Tufun. You have PM's turned off.....
So i'll ask here...LOL...
What do you really think of Prepar3d. I have it now, as well as FSX, but i am kind of on the fence about it.

Oh! Ok, that's fixed. PM is on but the receiving them was not checked. Both boxes have to be checked I guess.

Anyways don't have P3Dv4 and only have FSX-SE to check my work in sim. Most of the time use MCX to check progress. No rudder peddles, no joystick, nothing but a keyboard.
That may change if P3Dv5 or MFS 2020 has significate updates to the graphics engine for us artist to fully express what we want visually.

Forgot to mention I have chaseplane installed to crawl all over the aircraft.

 

[trucker17]

Ok...Thanks bud....
I'm not sure which i like best.....FSX is the old reliable....Prepar3d has pretty good graphics....And seems to be a less hit on FPS then FSX....
I love the Maamsim B25, but it does not work in prepar. and i dont really care for the one available now....HINT...HINT....HINT...BOMBER 12TH....LOL....
Plus with prepar3d, i have lots of planes and sceneries to replace..... Not to mention the ones i wont be able to use.....LOL...
