Flite Fest South East? November 2017?

[Boostedvolvo]

That’s why I’m always the first one up.. no one drove Volvo’s though

Pleasure meeting you! Maybe I’ll see you at East!

And also, does anyone know who on here had that ‘X’ plane (seen multiple times in combat)? I would love to build one!

 

[jaredstrees]

Yeah, that red x was cool. My son told me to make one. course, he wanted me to make one of just about everything he saw!

That was the PhunX from phacious here on the forum. He's got a set of plans for his combat version on pp2 here:

Thanks Dan! He told me ‘fun X’. Did not know it was spelled like that!

I was the guy flying the Mig3 during the final combat contest on Sunday. Was the most fun I ever had with R/C spanning back two decades of experience. He and I were battling it out as the final two. I am not sure what happened? Did he run out of battery?

@BillH Congrats on the win and especially for your epiphany! Nothing like a profound personal experience to put a bias in proper perspective.

Was that the Mig 3 that underwent some difficulties during construction?

Combat was a blast! I had my skysurfer up in three of the combats. My prop came loose in that last combat and I sailed in to a nice gentle landing(lame). I think the X plane guy said he had done a roll way too close to the ground and just kinda had to land it.

I had a couple hang ups, among other things, my cell phone battery depleting while watching the video, beveling the wrong edges, and having to cut a hole in the wing to snake a servo extension past a blob of hot glue. It was a rush job, trying to get it ready for the last combat contest on Saturday, which I missed. I thought it was only going to last one flight. Going to run six packs through it tomorrow, it’s my new favorite flyer.

At one point I lost orientation near the fence and almost lost it. That was the only real issue about the location, the position of the Sun in relation to flying area was not ideal.

Noted, we'll try and move the Sun next time

I had the tickets. What I didn't have was the time or the wife's support in attendance. I hope the event was great and it will be part of the regular Flite Fest rotation.

Batteries were all charged, gear all packed. I just couldn't make it all come together.

So my friend got the ‘X’ plane in one of the combats.. but he was FPV, so I don’t think that should count ��

[Boostedvolvo]

That was interesting

 

[SlingShot]

I saw my gun and my little knife.

 

[rockyboy]

I love that video! Does it say something strange about me that I watched it more than once?

 

[BillH]

Ah, so you are the glue gun guy. Remember you asking for permission to take pics

I have watched it a few times also.

Also thinking of trying to make a few comics from them.
