SkymonkeyONE 4 #1 October 23, 2006 Please to be bringing your brushless foamies with you to Z-hills if you are coming to train or fuck off this season. We are some F-27 C Stryker battling muldoons here, and we don't mind crashing our shit into each other. We, like at Raeford, are flyers, not modelers, so keep your pretty balsa planes at the house unless you want us to fly straight into your shit.

McDuck 0 #6 October 23, 2006 Shit, Greg and I were just talking this weekend about how nobody flies here any more now that you left. He's practically mothballed his Extreme, and my Challenger is in pieces in the guest room. I think I'll ditch the Challenger for good and move up to the Extreme.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

cocheese 0 #7 October 23, 2006 So much to learn. What is the crash ratio regarding pilot error vs. mechanical failure? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,151 #8 October 23, 2006 QuoteSo much to learn. What is the crash ratio regarding pilot error vs. mechanical failure? About 5:1, I'd say. Worst mech failure I had was with a Shuttle that threw a blade. At first we all throught it was a mid-air collision, because it instantly self-destructed from the out-of-balance condition....

SkymonkeyONE 4 #9 October 23, 2006 I have been flying my three-times-reborn brushless Stryker with a bent propshaft for the past two weeks. It makes a howling noise when it flies in that out-of-balance condition and I have snapped two props due to the vibration. What fun! I am going to buy another motor and some extra props today, but it's fun to see how great these things fly half-destroyed. An odd bit of trivia: almost everytime I ball my Stryker up, it's into the ditch formerly known as the swoop pond. Odd. Scotty Burns, Mark Cochran, and I all also have helis. All are destroyed at the moment. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #10 October 23, 2006 My Stryker came out of the box with broken flap motors. It won't even fly straigh because after 3-5 seconds it gets random flap input from either side.

BlindBrick 0 #13 October 23, 2006 I was at Wal-MArt one day and found a foam, 2 channel B-2 Spirit on sale for $35. I picked it up and have made pretty much all the common beginner rookie mistakes with it(as a side, it's just sick and wrong when a 296 lbs man has to climb thirty feet up a tree to get his toy ) I'm feelng pretty confident but am fustrated by it's limited manuverability. What'd be a good next step? -blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
