Know your limits, and your model's.....

And my video is a perfect example of reason to throttle back, use covering and colration to help with keeping aircrafts orientation in mind lol!

Gee, seems ALL of my crashed planes have broken into pieces which made them "easy to transport".

lol!

nitroairplane Mon Jan 09, 2012 5:00 pm

Yes a light burden one ones back but so darn heavy on ones heart.

nitroairplane Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:14 pm

Well you will want some good light magnets and a decent imagination Smile

Look up "über lites" for inspiration.

sounds good, i would like to be able to remove the horizontle and vertibles stads, and keep evering in the boxes that the spare parts arrived in

nitroairplane Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:45 pm

Yes.
There have been some very good designs but none really made it I the open market until the uberlites came.

mitchg95 Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:04 pm

See my guide for removing the wing; this one may be a formed part of the fuselage, so be careful if you decide to slice it off.

You may not even have to remove the tail. What power plant/radio gear will you be using?

i have no idea at this time, i probley get the cox extra 300 radio gear with the cox extra 300 motor

nitroairplane Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:27 pm

I had the UK version of the extra 300.
Seems sound.

mitchg95 Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:29 pm

ya i like the skyranger:)

nitroairplane Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:30 pm

I just hate the darn transmitters.

mitchg95 Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:31 pm

ya, ill probly use a spectrum dx6i

microflitedude Tue Jan 10, 2012 7:14 pm

Then you will need to use a spectrum compatible receiver. Such as a microlite receiver with 2.5g servos, or the AR6400 unit which has an ESC and two servos built in.

mitchg95 Tue Jan 10, 2012 9:16 pm

ya ill have to look into that

nitroairplane Wed Jan 11, 2012 1:50 am

Would use the spektrum AR6400l for the long throw servos and the ability to add more channels if needed.

mitchg95 Wed Jan 11, 2012 9:43 am

ya that would be cool

You can get them used for $30 - 40 instead of the $60 retail.

mitchg95 Wed Jan 11, 2012 10:27 am
