Do me a solid?

new video. we had a ton of fun and managed to down all three planes.

And here's the last one from before my trip. I'm starting to get the hang of following planes with this quad.

Here's my newest video, the first of a few that will be coming from my weekend trip to Apache pass. The sun just killed this poor plane.

Classic tip stall. Hard to build in washout using foam board. Maybe us a carbon spar and glue a few degrees twist in board to spar?

ha, ya it was the pilot's 3rd flight.

I lol’d at that crash. I guess you have to fly RC to really appreciate that. I’m glad you’ve gotten to the shrug it off point. I recently flew my parkzone p47 inverted between myself and the sun late in the day and it thumped in pretty hard. It will fly again though. I do really crazy things in foamies I won’t do with balsa planes.

On another note the school bus isn’t too far from a B24 Liberator if you want to build other 4 engine bombers.

My problem is I will fly the balsa stuff like I do the foamies. That's why I sold my $1100 Beast. lol

I've been shrugging off crashes since my first flight. Only time I get mad at a crash is when there's no video.

This video was a huge pain to produce. The guy with the nitro plane in the background was fruitlessly trying to tune his engine all day. that damn thing was loud. finally got it fixed enough to put something out. I hope you enjoy.

I ordered 8 more motors and esc's yesterday, and also I've been digging trough my parts boxes and found enough gear to get 3 more in the air. looks like this isn't going to cost as much as I thought.

Very cool.

some screen caps from today. Man these bomber fly friggen good.
We put the second one together last night, and I'm staring at 4 more kits right now ready to go together. this looks like it's really ging to happen.

What an amazing weekend for rc! the weather was perfect, the wind played well, and I didn't have to work. Friday night I stayed up till 3am charging batteries and tinkering with planes, so I was a little late to the field Saturday. But that was okay because it was even nicer weather when I got there at 11. We took the Rocket Cuda' up on the school bus, and everything went as planned until half way through the burn I realized that the elevons where unable to overcome the forces being applied to them at speed. I was full back on the stick and was sinking slowly toward the ground. At roughly 140mph the plane met the earth with the rocket still accelerating. There was a satisfying bang, massive debris field. it was amazing!! Lot even mad, this was going to be it's last flight anyway because we are moving on to the real airplanes from Laines planes that he donated to the project.
We flew the prototype for my B-17 kit a few times, and even let a novice pilot fly it. he did quite well until on his 3rd flight when he attempted his first ever landing. he ended up tipping in and destroyed the plane. No big loss we where done with that one anyway.
Then Sunday we built a new B-17 (pretty close to the final version) and flew it in my backyard. It flies SO GOOD! and was super easy to build. I think we have a winner.
Now I have a week of editing ahead of me. I figure I've got about 3 episodes worth of content.

here's some pics
this is the only picture we have from Sunday's flight. it was fairly windy so we had to stay high. this thing just looks right up there. can't wait to see ten of them!


here's a before and after of the rocket Cuda' we lost Saturday.



and just for fun, here's a picture from earlier in the project when we where doing ground launches checking thrust angles and stuff.
I love this pic.


Thanks for all the input you all have given me.

as a fellow rc pilot i’d be happy to be pay for one and fly it. I can assemlble it all myself too. You should host an assembly party once they are cut. If you can tell me the motor specs, escs, servos and batteries i will get busy procuring what i need.

pm me.
