| Russel:
In one of the photos it looks like a spectrum AR6100E receiver, are you using a DX7 transmitter? |

Bernd, the size is about 25" long, and we get plenty of cold here, just not the snow. It is 34deg this morning. Dsquire, I almost had a flight yesterday, but realized just before that my left right orientation is backwards -dont need that-, also with it getting late the wind picked up as the sun was going down. I added wheels for a rolling take off due to the akward way to throw it. I dont want to get bit by the prop. Russel, Thats the one, I am using a DX6i. I borrowed the electronics from one of my helicopters (Blade 400) -B- |
| Bernd:
-B- Good luck with the maiden voyage. 25" that's not to bad. I thought is was shorter. Still I bet it'll be a bear to fly. Again good luck. Bernd |
| Krown Kustoms:
Well.... I tried a ground take off and no luck. (very fast on the ground) I have adjusted the landing gear to be nose up, and will try again tomorow. If all else fails I have a two story deck and can easily throw it from there for a test flight. (I dont really want to) I dont have a lot of room so it will be just a stability flight with little turns. (trees) I have read a lot of bad reviews of the F-117A due to stability so I might have to make this one a wall hanger if it dosent impress me. No reason to build a larger one if this one flies like a brick. I wont scratch the whole idea, just for now. I would rather spend time on finishing the things I have left to work on this one. until tomorow... -B- |

B, I love your attitude. If it works, great, if it doesn't, shrug your shoulders and try something else. Sometimes we should all do that, instead of carrying on trying to fix a lost cause. Admirable. Bogs |
