Bonjour @GuyOReilly ,

C'est très joli.  J'aime beaucoup les avions nostalgiques, et rouge et vert vont bien ensemble.

@Andy Hoffer , thank you, I always liked that model.  And the pictures are not bad either, IMHO...  BTW, it is ORANGE et VERT.

Ready for maiden flight!
2 pounds 2 ounces RFT.
I had to use heavier wheels due to CG concerns...

Andy Hoffer

Yay!  It's portrait time!!

OKAY!  Weather is good.  After work today August 12, 2020, MAIDEN FLIGHT of the Buzzard Bombshell.  Anybody else will be there?  I need a video....
Thank you.

Bonjour @GuyOReilly !

Je serai à TEMAC ce soir, probablement à six heures avec mon caméra!

À ce soir,

Here is a video of the hand launch and recovery by @Frank v B .
Thank you for your assistance.
This Buzzard found a thermal on the 3rd flight!

Congratulations @GuyOReilly !  Sorry I couldn't get there earlier this evening to photograph votre belle avion.   You had left when I arrived at 6:15 p.m. We will reconvene at another time and do some proper in-flight and static portraits.

Bravo!

@Andy Hoffer sorry I missed you, I had dinner to prepare and lawn to cut, the Honey-Do-List must be completed...  There will be other times.  Once trimmed by @Frank v B it caught a thermal and stayed up just like a glider.  I am soooooo HAPPY!!!!

Guy,

Maybe the maiden was successful because Andy could not make it.  ;) ;)
He has this effect on people.

I didn't say this, did I??

ps: good call on changing the 3S to 2S.  Still more than enough power but sure easier to handle.
