Thank you all!
No merits, this was a foam kit, so not much building involved on that one!

First flights here if the conditions are spot on. Otherwise, I'll wait for Macon and the competition... Fingers crossed!  :)
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Soooo, the DC3 flew, and rather very well to my surprise I have to say!
That thing looks really really good in the air with its civilian scheme!

And the static judges liked it!  :)

Anyway, first flight done and dusted in windy/bumpy conditions, and it all happened without any issues with a perfect landing  8)
And I took second place at the VDP International  :)
