As Richard guessed, the UMX Timber just wasn't going to be enough. This one is sure easy to keep sight of. On 3S it's very nice. On 4S... yikes.
E-flite Maule M-7.

There's only 1 alligator in this pond... and he's a scaredy-cat. Maybe wack him with a float?? But then... the plane will sink. Like you say... it's a problem.
This is from right behind the house...

David,

Please remember that all large and fierce alligators were once small scaredy-cats.

How many more years are you going down there?

Next year I will send you down with a sign for your back yard "David's swim-up restaurant"

This one's about 5 feet... and he's a ***** cat... or he eats ***** cats... I can't remember.
Every time I hear a cat screeching around here... and that happens a bit... I image the gator scored dinner.

I love how our society has changed... re: Post # 27. Did the forum software change my post... or did a forum moderator change it? I don't care, I just think it's an interesting comment.

Bald Eagle fishing on the pond today... an awfully good flyer.

A gray day on Friday, but 70 and no wind. This P-51 and Corsair were tough to see against the clouds... not so with my red Maule.

davidk · February 03, 2020, 04:41:50 PM

75 and not a breath of wind. Louis and I had the field to ourselves... and all electric day.

Lucky with some warmth today. A cross wind from behind me... but... if you don't fly in the wind... you can't fly in the wind.
One bumpy landing... so had to do it again. The second one was...
