    Here it is, sticker-ed, weathered, and clear-coated! :D I'm having second thoughts about flying it again :nervous: This was my first attempt at weather a model, I think I kinda overdid it. Next time I'll make sure I dilute the black paint some more...at least until I learn proper airbrush control.

    If you'll fly it you are nuts. Just put it in a display case and charge people to see it. :tease:

    I got the courage to fly it in all its glory. it was nerve racking at first...adrenaline, but with the coaxing of my son we finally got it in the air. Just nice and slow for now, when I get up the courage I try some TV maneuvers.

    I finally got some video doing some maneuvers with the TV...nothing to crazy just getting the feel of the plane. I know everything I did in the video can be done without TV but it makes it sooooo much easier, it feels like I'm cheating. It flies tight and is very maneuverable. I love the way it flies, I can fly slow or fast and it handles so easily it feels like a smaller plane than it's 35" wingspan would lead you to believe. I have a smaller Su-27 EDF that flies fast and I'm constantly "on top" of that plane, but with this Su-37 I can fly "relaxed".

    Enjoy my Epic-Fail Su-37 catapult launch. Needless to say I installed a handle to hand launch this bad-boy and prefer that than lugging a catapult around.

    Man the whole time I'm thinking I hope that beautiful plane isn't going to turn into epic foam dust lol.

    You had me worried as well! I thought the same thing was going to happen. :shock: I am always nervous to see a catapult launch seems like over the top power. Glad to hear you put a handle on there for hand launching and that nothing to bad happened.
