My WMM kept crashing when I tried to put more video clips in of the flight so I had to cut it way down. I had some cool low passes (nothing 3-D though).

Here are a couple pics of my pilot that showed up on Monday. These are so sweet it really sets off the plane, even though his right eye is cross eyed (looking at his nose) while his left is straight out the front . Guess I'll need some sort of nick name for him.

I've said we supply the "cherry on top" for your project!!
gotsky, you're taking some nice pictures there!
What plane is the 33% Mega Pilot in? He looks really good in that cockpit!

LOL! Guess the eye thing is a testament to the fact that each, like yourself and I, are individually made.
Sorry you have to figure an excuse for him.
Looks like we covered some "pilot diversity" type, not really focused on often?
Maybe if you do allot of 3D you can blame the flying routine? (okay, I'll stand down on the difficult humor subject matter)
That is truly a nice looking plane John-

The plane is an X-Treme composite Edge 540T.. The pilot bust fits perfectly.
I will try to get some photos (close up) of it on a slow fly by. I'm hoping it will look very realistic.
As for the name.. I think something along the lines of "Ol Crazy Eyes Magee" Or "Dizzy Danoo". I'll just have to do lots of belenders and rolling circles.. And no excuses needed.. Trust me I've had many a morning that I've rolled out of bed to head to the field and felt like me eyes were going different directions from the night before..

You're lucky. We usually charge extra for crossed eyes.
Your install looks great. We'll get these photos on our gallery page.
Thanks for being a RARC customer.

gotsky - really you are lucky actually- We have been holding back shipping out "Keith the Teef" for that one certain "difficult" Californian (prospective) customer who has been hounding us about a few baseless issues. (Duhhhh!)
That buyer - - beware! THIS modification will be the intentional freebie!

Yes, we're serious business about Red Aero RC, but we are still your flying buddies too!
