figures dudio would find the "turn me on" part of the thread

.

barney yes I knew that about the plane and yes I was meaning it as a joke cause obviously the picture doesnt show the true form of the plane.

I had no doubts Blong but the young'uns were taking out the drag in a serious way. Cutting the line seemed like the most compassionate thing that could be done.

It's called a gull wing.

Is that a GWS ARF General? Very Nice!!

The electrics are really coming on strong.

Welcome to the addiction

General POK · 08-29-2006, 07:49 PM

Yes, thats the GWS version. I love the batteries and brushless motor setup. Very quiet and lots of flying time. Its hard for us old farts to see those damn planes up in the sky

I am thinking Biplane next, or perhaps a big bomber?

LOL...I get a few RC Airplane magazines and I always chuckle cause the older the guy next to the plane, the bigger the plane is. There's probably two reasons..poorer eyesight, and the older guys as a group tend to have a little more cash.

The brushless motor lithium battery combo is making its way subsantially into the big planes, like 1/5 and 1/4 scale with performance equal to fuelers. Not cheap though, but helluva alot cheaper and better than it was.

What scale is that plane General?

General POK · 08-31-2006, 07:14 PM

its like 32" wing span. all molded foam and fairly tough. Nice thing about the electric is a throttle control. Full speed, it leaps out of your hand. Runway take off's no problem. I am having difficulty landing it because it lands a lot different then the top wing trainer I have (

Well model building is fun. Repairing the planes are fun. Flying is fun and exciting. Crashing.... Well here is my new plane. My oldest son built most of it. Great project of him and I - BTW, this is the first Bird of Prey I think :lol:
