Got almost all of the recent $5 specials.

This is just one! A-10 and F-14 screenies coming soon...........soon as I can get out of them long enough to visit with y'all here.

I like the way five dollars looks Wink

Great shots U4EA

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Some have been $100 in frustration though. Wink

I was familiar with A-10s and F-16s, so I knew how to start them without too much flight manual assist.

The BD-5 is quite simple. The F-14 is just a matter of finding all the controls/switches/knobs.

BUT! Undecided

I have yet to have any success with a survivable take-off in the Vulcan. Cheesy

I have memorized How to start up the Vulcan. It is actually quite easy.

Got to:http://www.fspilotshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=2006

Watch the product video and it should help. That is how I learned how to start up the Vulcan. Just make sure you watch it full screen. Wink

Hope it helps!

I sat in silence flipping switches and pushing buttons for a long while before I got the Vulcan in the air.
Even after you get it started it still isn't flyable until you activate the control surfaces......I've flown it, but I suspect that it wasn't exactly "by the book". I am currently reading the manual so that I can do things on purpose Grin

I purchased the Vulcan last week and have spent a lot of time sitting on the tarmac in as well. Grin

I need to read the manual.
