Nice Flight, better landing and terrific camera work. Very admirable job holding onto that plane with the camera.

Thanks, I bought the plane off him a week later, he is more into 3d so he buys warbirds, flys them once and then sells them...usually to me! ::)

[WJCJR1]

Well maybe let me know when you are going to be turning them over... ;)
Wayne

[ATIS]

will do, he is selling is Ultra Stick with a Power 25 on it...may have to pick it up...my hanger is looking empty ::)

Heres a nice flight...

I've been wanting to transition and get checked out on a low wing. I looked real [real] close at the new PT-19, but decided it's just too nice of a plane to learn on. Instead, I picked up the Sea Fury ARF.

Of course, I haven't started the build yet, but if you feel moved and create a Warbirds board under E-Flite, I think I have enough questions to get it rolling.

Thanks,
Tim

The Sea Fury is listed under the EFLite "scale" section.... post away!! ;)

[tkrahlin]

Under Eflite all I see is:
3-D
Ducted Fan
Sport
Helicopters
Trainers

Of course, I sometimes can't find my plane either...

[ATIS]

scale is there... go to the main page and look under eflite

[kirch]

I have the same as tkrahlin.

no scale section under eflite.

I can see the planes under Scale sub-board by going to the "Jump to:" drop down menu, but it's missing from the GUI main page.

Maybe this screen cap will help... and confuse the heck out of some people.

It's a screen capture! Don't try to click on it :D

Bingo!

I knew that – lol – which is why I grabbed the screen captures. I work ‘in-da-business’ and I’ve been burned like this too. Always logging in as admin (or w/ administrator rights), you assume that the “great unwashed” must be able to see what you see ;).

[ATIS]

Excellent!! I forget that I always login as admin so everything works for me....so I kept looking and could see it and access it. Never thought to go to the other computer and try it as a guest... if you find any other issues let me know and I will go in and fix them.

ok please give it a try...

Wow - If I had seen all these before, I might have bought a different plane!

Just messing with 'ya... :-)

[ATIS]

Its a good plane.... just got to respect her. She does NOT rise of grass well.... at least not soccer fields. Short to real short grass will be fine. I have to take off from gravel with her.

Remember, if you drop the LG to land and only one drops... cycle them (raise them and then lower them again), if only one drops the second time then just raise them and belly flop her.

To belly flop her you will want to fly her in low and kill the throttle and let her set down...when shes a 4 inches off the deck raise the nose a little and let the tail touch first, then as the nose drops pull back a little more. Keep the nose up as long as you can so the rockets on the wings cant dig into the grass. I do not recommend belly flopping as the regular way of landing with the rockets attached as they will get ripped off the wings but in an emergency this is the best way to get her down with minimum damage.

The Captain would be proud of you!

[ATIS]

I have too many belly floppers....so I am very good at belly landing...but touch and goes are impossible... LOL

[kirch]

Yep, I see a whole whack of planes under eflite scale now.

[ATIS]

Excellent!! This explains the lack of interest in them!! :o

[WJCJR1]

Good Job ATIS in troubleshooting the privileges issue and getting Tim and everyone hooked up.

Wayne

[ATIS]

no worries, just happy I was logged in at the time...

[tkrahlin]

I'm sorry... one other thing I noticed:

After you opened the Scale sub-boards over the weekend, I noticed that the Hawker Sea Fury is the only Sub-Board that doesn’t show anything in “Last Post by” column. I thought it would update, but it hasn’t. It seems to be the only one that doesn’t. Should it?

[ATIS]

It should... but we are working on fixing the bugs...sorry for the inconvience.

No problem - I've always found the new messages anyway. Just wanted to see if you all were aware of it. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Thanks,
Tim

This has been bug for a while, as ATIS had said it's getting sorted out but it's slow and laborious. Tim you good with computers, I recall a mention or two about code from you.

I don't [write] code. I do LAN/WAN support and administration.

That was what I meant about always being logged in as administrator or with administrator rights. It's a paradox that by having rights to see everything, you sometimes 'miss' things.
