I've gotten some great comments about the cowl from peeps at the field. They can't believe it was 3D printed.

Re: I've gotten back into R/C Planes after a 12+ year hiatus...

Photos from the Blue Max WWI RC Plane competition in Ocala FL

Went to the Blue Max WW I RC Plane competition at Ocala Flying Model Club today. Some of these are huge 1/3 scale planes. There was also a great jet demonstration flight (I have some good videos of that). I've posted my best photos and videos on Google Photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gQbU8TQc...

Update on the Aeromaster bi-plane: If you remember, this sad puppy looked like this, after hanging for 15 years in my storage shed: https://pcabusers.org/bob/Aeromaster2025-13.jpg It took a while, but I finally started working on this plane in earnest a week and a half ago.
