What? Are you Chicken?!?
I see you just finished that shiny new speed built Bloody Wonder V2. All nice and white and pretty. Not even grass stained yet . . . and you want to go putter around the field?
That's not some old fogey! THAT'S a COMBAT bird you're flying, PILOT!
Slap some paint or colored tape or blood on it and take your place holding the line at the first annual:
N orth
A merican
S tock
B loody
W onder
A erial
C ombat
C hallenge
One plane, One motor, 3 servos, and 8 minutes of combat to glory!
The challenge is to build:
- a stock V1 or V2 BW from foamboard (scratch or speed built)
-- mount an EMAX CF2812 (cheap, strong, and available ALL OVER)
-- up to 3 servos (wanna go plane-jane? dual ailerons for protection, pansy? the ruddy wonder for wicked yaw to run away faster?)
-- powered by a 3S 1300 battery (or less than 4oz, if you think your 4S1000 pack can rock our world for 8 min)
-- mount an EMAX CF2812 (cheap, strong, and available ALL OVER)
-- up to 3 servos (wanna go plane-jane? dual ailerons for protection, pansy? the ruddy wonder for wicked yaw to run away faster?)
-- powered by a 3S 1300 battery (or less than 4oz, if you think your 4S1000 pack can rock our world for 8 min)
Only the winning airframes will be checked, but all will see battle!!!!
Wait?!? There's not an Outlaw class? Any BW compete? Ooooh yeah!!! You just can't win if you don't meet the rules . . . and who cares about a DQ if you've single-handedly thinned the herd?
So how do I win? This is full on combat, baby! You should be happy if you survive, but I like your spirit! The winner is selected by physical contact count (hits) in 8 minutes, on the honor system. Hitter and hittee both get a point -- if they can stay in the air, they get to make/take more points. No, the ground doesn't count.
When? Probably sometime Saturday . . . we'll need to sneak in-between or after official events, we'll want a popular day, and we TOTALLY want to have time for people to finish building their BW's to join in the fun.
Where? FTFF of course!!! Oh! Which flight line? We'll have to get more details first to find out whose line we can steal for 8 minutes of carnage.
And the prize? The Glory of combat and the Honor of your peers . . . and maybe a trophy . . . dunno . . . ideas?
So who's with me?!?
Who wants to see what a simple Bloody Wonder can do in the hands of great
(and not-so-great) pilots?!?!?
