    God, haven't posted here in a while!
    Anyway, a bit of planes in the car world with the latest (well, one of them!) addition to the fleet, with the GWS P40, EPO version.

    I have a new airbrush system, and already love it! :)

    Thanks :)
    And for once, the photos don't do justice to the model and the overall effect of the weathering.

    Aaaannnnnndddd done !

    First flight made yesterday !

    All good, fly like a warbird.
    My CG was a bit too much on the tail, so that was a bit touchy, but other than that, all good
    Looks really good in the air... So good, that after 10 or 15 minutes, got bored (it's a plane... :p ) and decided to do full speed low passes...
    The last one was slightly lower than the rocks, and I tangented the Planet full speed.
    Very nice noise and effect !
    And the plane ? Nothing ! You have to love the Elapor !
    Just destroyed the cowl (very thin rubbish plastic...) and the prop mount (4 screws destroyed... Told you, full speed ! ).

    But the plane, not a scratch, nothing !

    So, Overall, a good machine, a bit on the heavy side if you are use to the other GWS products, but that really looks great in flight !

    Fixing the cowl, I'll try to have it done for tomorrow (Fly in) :)
