Thanks, too bad it went down yesterday. Not sure if I had an elevator servo failure or brown out. It dove right into a road however. It destroyed the spinner, prop, motor, motor x brace, battery, firewall, and of course the foam aspect of the plane was a total loss.
Well not yesterday... Monday
Shoot - that was a bad one!
Shucks! It was even a radial - I would have expected it to hold up better. Well I guess it was asphalt you crashed on, I always go into the grass or dirt...
Im pretty certain it was doing roughly 70-80 when it hit. And its a pretty heavy airframe
Yeah I had to. Sorry if thats rude @BATTLEAXE meant it in clean fun.Ouch!
Naw, It's not rude - we're all for some good fun! Check out the worse stuff said on this thread...

Hopefully. Just debating if its a good monetary decision before college but 90% sure Im signing up tomorrow night. Tell ya what if I have another Javelin built want to take her for a few laps? Plus I have some more fun in the works...... maybe has something to do with a mini of the sportster variety.... with double the fun.... and by double the fun I mean double the motors, 7 inch bigger wingspan, and a completely different fuselage.I love that thread!
Yup, I plan on going - you?
I was there for the first time last year and it's the best experience ever! That would be awesome! I like where you're going with the mini sportster - that sounds like it'll be a blast to fly!
Im tossing around ideas right now to make it sorta be a spinoff of a vintage racer. The wing shape definitely fits that. Maybe toss in some aerobatic capability with a big rudder and elevator because gosh knows the mini sportster doesn’t need more aileron. Hmm maybe some differential thrust for flat spins? Now what battery size would you recommend. I have 850mAh 3 cells but I feel like flight time would be too short with two motors. Maybe a 1300? Or for more power maybe a small 4 cell?
4s would be crazy! I personally like the zippy 3s 1000 mah packs since they go for about $7 on the hobbyking website...
Lmao ok. I guess Ill compare weight to get the balance nominal. 4s would be awesome. Maybe Ill try to melt it down with some 6 inch props haha
Oh yeah I plan on using the Emax RS2306 so itll be very zippy. Even on 3s. Although I can get 5 min flight times out of my arrow if Im heavy on throttle like I like to be but with two motors I figure thatll get cut in half at most and 2 min flight times would be odd
