Finally got some video from my 808 keychain camera. Strapped to the wing of the Blue Baby 33" at Gratwick Park, North Tonawanda NY.

Niagara Falls Airshow
I took a break from building a bunch of easy kits to go the Niagara Falls Airshow with the family. Great show by the Thunderbirds as usual.

Next projects...
I'm going to take a break from big and/or complex kits for a while. I'll build a few easy kits and try to get that airplane covered.

Servo issues
This week, I pulled out the Blu Baby 33 to get my fingers ready to fly. When I checked the control surfaces, the rudder would react uncontrollably when the stick was held hard right. The servo would push hard right, go to center, go hard right, center, etc.
I had seen this behavior on a different receiver but not with this one. I had the suspect receiver still in a box, with a note that it had been pulled from the BB33 with a suspect rudder channel. Receiver replaced with a brand new Futaba 617 which then showed the same issue.
Servo changed, problem solved.
Project status...
Shed expansion: on hold. Washing machine replacement took priority (and cash)

Estes Saturn V- in white base coat. Need to mask and paint black
Estes Jetliner- in white paint. Need to sand and repaint
Estes Astron Elliptic II - bad black paint, booster sanded to primer and resprayed.
Estes Asteroid Hunter- under construction.
LOC caliber ISP - reworking fin fillets, priming.
