A flight shot of the model. We call it the 'super cloudbuster' as it is an evolution of a Guillows 4301 Cloud Buster that we built and still fly. If James would kindly add this aircraft to the aircraft list, I will post some pictures of how the model was developed.

This time we decided to set it down anyway. It was a bit breezy and we were flying with the left hand and taking pix with the right.

Excuse the lack of clarity of the pic. It was taken thru a window late in the afternoon of the backyard. On the powerlines and fence are about 75 doves, mostly whitewing. Between the fence and the powerline pole is the neighbors swimming pool. Apparently, the Doves us it as a watering hole during these hot summer days. We've been having succissive days with heat index of over 110. A long hot summer here in TX:o(

Another impact earlier this year damaged the nose and took out the main landing gear.

We parked the remains until late 2009, when we rebuilt the wing center section and made a removeable mount for it.
