Start of my new bloody paint job...
Heck of an idea, nice
Start of my new bloody paint job...
Oh my! It looks like someone seriously got hurt! Stunning idea for a combat paint job!
With our combat we get star for every cut and those stay with the plane. If you cannot repair the plane for combat again then you start back to 0 cuts. We also have the person sign at the spot that they did damage to the plane.
@Wildthing - some out of the box thinking with this one - you can even limp home with one motor if one wing is severed!
The real reason for adding these two motors is not for speed but to cut streamers . Tons of times you can see a streamer being pulled by your wing but 70% of the time it will just slide off the end, get it just right and you can tear it off the plane but odds are against you hence extra cutters .
@Wildthing - crafty!
That's not crafty. That's sneaky! That's Batman or James Bond level of sneaky gadgets!
I love your plan @Wildthing! Thinking out of the box to gain max damage.I did play with toothpicks on one plane, sticking out on the corner of the wing, elevator and even one on the top of the vertical. First flight out I caught a streamer but next few flights nothing. I heard the guys talking and they were thinking of gluing some strips of coarse sand paper to the LE so the streamers wouldn't just slide off and I chuckled as I pulled my toothpicks out .
I still need to fly about 6 to 7 minutes and with this extra weight that cuts down in efficiency and performance. I want to still run it with one 2200 3S battery, most of the other guys are running 1300 to 1800 3S and get that time but they run smaller ( 7" or so) props then me ( 10X5 APC) so my fuel mileage is less but my speed and power is great. So my main motor will be propped down to use less fuel but still needs to have enough power to carry all the extra weight on it's own if I shut the outside motors off.

If you Ain't out there to win, no point being out there.I also like to stir the pot a bit to
