the knife-edge pics were very nice. i didn't know a plane with such a small keel could sustain a knife edge...

I doubled the rudder area, so can knife-edge until the cow come home
Close-up pic showing rudder scrapping the ground from above picture at Tampines Bicycle Park Need to re-coat it again! Hey, maybe i'll install a 2-56 rod along the tip of rudder and do inverted low-pass and scrap rudder along runway! That would be nice? Must beef up the rudder hinges though
It's great to take 1/2 a day leave and just go fly, with no interruptions from work or family!

Brandon, these 2 planes' flat side fuselages also played a part in sustaining knife edge, Jcho's Scanner can also knife-edge very very well, Jcho has flown his Scanner for only 2-3 weekends and he's already improving like nobodies business, touch-and-go's, knife-edging together with me! Today was a really fun day Jcho, thanks for these pics. PS, a bit small leh?!

[Jcho]

I love this pic....especially the smoke....

[AstroBoy]

Thanks for burning the pics in a CD, now i can crop them and post here

We had a fun time wheelie-ing the planes on the runway!

WEEEEEEEEEEH !!!! So FUN!!!

Notice Jcho's 3-wheels actually lifted off and land again! REALLY FUN MAN!!!
