The raw chase video... still editing

@L Edge I did see that a while back. It was some of my inspiration, here are one of my prototypes from 3 years ago:

Have you done any other weird projects?

 

[Mutley]

@L Edge I do, this one is sort of weird, I call it the Floppolev, filmed by a quad race buddy of mine from Grad School..

That was some greta AIM footage @Mutley.

Thanks, friend! Was great to see your SR-72 get off the ground as well.

Still have it?

Unfortunately the Missile got barrage Jammed by the oil derricks wifi signal. Crashed due to lost signal

Same thing happened to me. Were you flying spectrum? I think it might be a combination of a hundred or more planes in the air and the oil rigs

Crashed it.

Found this on one of the forum threads, it is a still from the last combat, sure enough you can see The aim-7 and tow plane (red circle) moments before radio lock out crash. Credit to: @Pieliker96

Full scale Aim-9 next?

 

[Mutley]

@foamboardflyer yes I was using spektrum. I think it was that donkey head with a remote monitor blasting 2.4Ghz stepping on everyone

Here are some updates: Finally got around to adding servos and motors to the build.

[Mutley]

Two 2400 KV t-motors from Race Day Quads. They are 4S and have INSANE power. 10 times the amount of my little 2212 park flyer motors.

How are you launching and landing?

AIM7's don't come back! One way mission.

@L Edge That is one "gotcha" of this build. I cannot land. I have been reinforcing the edges and sides of the Fins with Large BBQ skewers. I am thinking two test flights here in Florida, Two repairs and tweaks, and then one flight at Flite Fest in a Combat event...

How about a parachute... big trash bag, some string and a servo to pop the lid???
