Thanks bro

Glad to hear good report! 10 mph is good amount of wind. Yet the motor is strong enough to pull it through it.

Good luck Eric. Let us know how it goes

Pizza.... now we're talkin

Nice Eric!

I'm down for pizza!

Just a thing I thought to mention, if your at a place that you can't hang your Fokker by the prop for storage, you can lay it on the top win upside down. A tip that might come in handy if your at a field and it's hot... keep all those wings straight...

Good point on storage Rolling Circle. I also carry my foamies to the field by running a bungee across the roof line by the pull handles at the top. Then I hook pieces of string to the bungee and hang by the props of all the planes. I can get 6 of the 32 inch planes in a SUV,

LOL... good idea .. now that's a Twisted SUV.

Thinking about lights now that we know it flies well... some good fall nights coming up

Can't wait for the fall nights! those are my favorite times, not too hot, not too cold, and not too windy. Just bought a trailer too and its gonna become a twisted trailer! I may have to do what Benton did in his Twisted SUV.

Wow, cool about the trailer Ethan. You can fit a LOT of foamies in a trailer AND sleep in there too... LOL....

Are you getting into gassers too?

My lights should be here soon. Can't wait to try them out.

Yeah, I mostly got it for my 3dhs 103" extra which is kind of a tight fit in a car lol. Been a little discouraged since my DLE 120 has had issues. Already have had to have it replaced and I am waiting for new mufflers to arrive. I know it will be worth it once it is broken in and the plane is flying good though.

Awesome Eric! Lights sound really cool on the Fokker, I may have to get some for mine. Post a few pics when you get them on your plane, we'd love to see it.

I received my light set today. Thanks Mike. I was trying to decide if I wanted to use them as is and put them on the middle wing, or break up the wing ones and put one on top and one on the bottom wing. I tested out the setup as is and decided it looked good. Installation is a breeze and these should provide plenty of light for night flying. The set comes with a Y harness, so I used one of the ends and soldered it inline with my battery connector. That way I can unplug the lights if I want. The utility room was the only place I could find that is completely dark, so that is where I took the pics.

Wow Eric that looks amazing! Now I really want lights for mine haha.

Looks great Eric.

I forgot that Mike sells for Roger (Aurora).

Is that 2 sets or one?

I have the same set sitting here and was holding the lights different places on the plane and wondering what would be the final placement. I was sort of thinking I might like more lights but your Fokker looks pretty well lit up
