sorry to hear Stef, I guess you would have to see how much a new fuse would be and predicate your decision on that. If the fuse is say $75, I think I would go that route.

Yeah, sorry Stephan. Rotten luck.

I had great fun today with 2 out of 3 successful maidens! My Dynam P-47 was a hoot, especially with the bomb drop. And very happy to say my F-4 flew amazing! Such a beauty.

My only issue today was a bounce and nose gear damage for my 70mm F-35. It will be fixed but didn't get to fly.

Great turn out. Congrats Rob and your amazing Spitfire. And thanks Michael for flying your F-15 with my Phantom. Awesome fun!

The Spitfire maiden and its flawless landing were certainly the highlight of the day!

Looks good. Would be cool to make a big one out of foam. Very nice.

Here are the video footage.

My first 6S Warbird, P-47, maiden flight. 1500mm wing span, runs on 6S 5000mah. Comes with retracts and flaps. FMS did a great job on the P-47. Very high scale detail throughout (the cockpit interior is amazing), shock absorbing metal oleo landing gear struts and even the retractable tail wheel with metal trunnion. It is the most detail foam plane I ever own. You can get it from Pinnacle Hobbies.

My first WWII German Warbird, Stuka JU-87, maiden flight. 1400mm wing span, runs on 4S 2200mah. Comes with flaps. A very unique warbird which I got it from someone posted in RCC. Some minor repaired was done after the purchased. Otherwise, it flies great.
