Hey, a crash story from Fort Bragg. Heard mention of 550 cord and my ears perked up. I'll be there in a couple weeks, good to know I'll have fellow FliteTesters in the area. Dunno if you'll see this "Greg", but whereabouts do you guys fly?

Best Regards from Germany

And I was a bad pilot... I picked up a used 2000mm (51") warbird.
Looking forward to this experience.

So many things to do... So little time ;)

Personally, I am looking forward to hearing about the Visionaire, and perhaps comparing it with the Sukhoi? I am only just beginning to get to grips with the Sukhoi, initially I think I had it trimmed out for level flight at too high a speed. Landings, in particular, are much better now that I have it trimmed for slower flight.

You can't do too many fixed wing reviews for me, or talk about actual flying too much: that's what I like.

You touched on the problem with camera lenses distorting distance: that was interesting.

Crash stories: bah!
