Default First R/C flights of the season

It was the first weather this season good enough to fly my little UMX electric R/C airplanes.
Got 3 flights in on my B-17G, 2 flights on my F4U Corsair, and 1 flight on my P-51 Mustang.
My B-17 with AS3X stabilzation can handle wind, but my F4U and P51 are the early versions prior to AS3X gyro stabilization; those can only be flown in zero wind.
Flights were very nice with lots of aerobatics on the F4U and P51; the B-17 can do some minor aerobatics such as inside loops and barrel-rolls. It will NOT complete a roll without using the rudder though; that thing will make it to inverted using just ailerons, but will not complete the roll to upright without full rudder as well.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
