I know, and don't for one second think that I don't appreciate it. I can't do it and I sit here in awe of those that can.

Yeah, Gen, the flying beetle does fly like a dog, but I understand that 4.071 perked it up a bit . You couldn't take off without the engine overheating.

Real early, the numbers and such are totally off and need some serious work, but it's started.

Matt,
Very nice camo!!!
I think the Axis stuff is gonna outshine the Allied stuff. Some were looking for a slightly different style of paint job for the Axis. Maybe uber camo is the way to go?
W-what's wrong wiff the numbers?
That's how half of mine turned out.
~~~
OMG! almost 5000 posts!!!! I need to go hide somewhere.

More work on the IL-10.
This model and void are a pleasure to use after the last few aircraft. There are few stretched areas, no reversed or oddly cut and reused sections and no bad warped areas.
This would be a good first skin to try.
~hint-hint~

Indeed 5,000 posts is so obviously a sign of . . . Now a healthier situation is say 1,000 less posts.
Congrats on the IL-10. How is she to fly?

4000?

~whimper~
... How is she to fly?
Uh, fly?
I only fly it for a few minutes; just enough time to take twenty more pics of it for corrections.
I
can report that it banks, pitches and rolls a bit when asked and many times when it's not asked, the camea floats nicely around it, red sparkly things light up in front of the wing when you push the "1" and "2" buttons and if you forget to keep it on autopilot it will run into the ground just before you get that last good picture.

Gee, I only have around 3300.
And Falcon's a newer member than I.
Not being one to make up for lost time in this instance, I guess that really only says one thing...
(here it comes)
Where's the "off" switch?
