Title: Weekend at Bomber Field
Post by: jetmex on May 17, 2022, 09:04:53 PM
The Legend Hobby team got together this past Sunday to maiden the new fat face Skyraiders and the B-17.  Skyraiders flew just fine, but we had some mechanical issues with the B-17 prototype, so we'll have to iron those out before the first flight.  We had a great time.  Here's a few pics, there's a bunch more on the Legend Hobby faceplant page.

Friend Wally's Motion RC B-2 in flight.  The Texas flag artwork is by yours truly.

B-17 on the ramp at Bomber Field.

A gaggle of Skyraiders.

Wally and me with the fat face Navy Skyraider.  Markings are from the full scale airplane at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Dallas.  The camo bird belongs to team member Larry, it made its first flight that day as well.

Nony, the B-2 was at Top Gun.  Wally's son flew it in the EDF class.  That was a last minute addition, we painted it the day before Wally left for Florida.

Honcho, the Skyraiders fly just fine with the tanks.  There are three, one centerline and two wing drops.  The only issue with them is ground clearance while taxiing.  We're working on a bomb package for them now.
