Try chop sticks for the big jobs.
That's true but on the hand one of those pieces are still pointing in the RIGHT direction, even after a bad crash like that. So it shows it was a quality build. lolOne of those pieces is pointing in the wrong direction but I can't figure out which one.
Well. 50% quality, anyway....That's true but on the hand one of those pieces are still pointing in the RIGHT direction, even after a bad crash like that. So it shows it was a quality build. lol
That is hard to watch well at least you had fun. I’d love to take part in an air combat, maybe some day with the kids .1st day for combat wars, what a blast but we did use up some planes including the new Smooth Baron, second round she was in a midair collision.
The wing took a hard hit and it is still in one piece

On to plane #2 it suffered a broken motor shaft and just tore the front of the plane off

Plane #3 the Harley Hustler suffered a hit to the elevator and a third of it was missing and the control horn was hanging on for it's dear life, it was a handful to fly but it did get a kill and landed safely .

So what am I going to do with my free just for myself afternoon I asked myself. Having the kids were with my mother in law picking strawberries and later going to sleep there and my wife was at work til 23. It’s to windy to maiden these for the first time, plus it’s been a while since I last went flying. So what plane can I take? What is the quickest to get ready the Simple Scout or Edge 540. Edge 540 won considering it was just missing a motor and ESC. Flew one battery on it prefect, expect for a bad landing into some cabbage. Which did this.
That holds the wings for those who don’t know. Didn’t have how to fix it but decided to fly the other battery any how b/c I cared less I want to fly and have fun plus the hatch does hold down the wings as well so that might just be enough. The wings held down well but I think I had a rudder issue so I brought it down and realized that the rudder wasn’t responding and on off side so I disconnected it and straightened it up. Kept flying only with elevator and ailerons, flying close and low until I got distracted by a bird that was flying close to the plane and crashed into a metal fence. That ended the day with a lot of damage to repair .
No worries I’ll repair it at some point.
Seems to be a lot of that going around lately. Must mean spring is coming (for a lot of us, anyway) and we're getting out there and flying! See? There's a bright side to everything.my last crash was not too bad..... snapped a wing in half
@Stevo430687 is that perforated tape you're using? Like medical tape? If it is, it has no tensile strength. It's made to tear easily at the perforations and is just going to separate in nice clean lines. There is no added protection with that stuff. Heavy Duty packing tape, or even regular packing tape would go a lot farther towards protecting the plane.
