Hi everyone.
My name is Guy, 36 yrs old for the moment, I am French so, sorry for the English
I am in RC hobby since 20 years and I started with racing car, racing boats, then 5 to 6 years ago with RC copters.
I started planes thanks to flitetest.
My first built was a SpitFire. I had so much fun scratch building this thing that I decided to built an other one.
Then I decided to reward flitetest for this, I went online and guess what:
NO DONATION possible !!!!
So I end up buying a dual SpitFire kit and by the way end up paying something like 15 box for the post office handling thru TEXAS.
Not so cool when you can scratchbuilt.
So I decided to contact JoshB by email to ask him to settle a way for people to donate.
Now my scratch built fleet is made of
-2SpitFires
-1FT3D
-2VersaWings
and I just had the FT Racer plane downloaded today... Madnesssssssss......
When you think about it:
-Nice Guys (all of the Joshs, David and Chad and I assume the rest of the crew)
-Nice planes - detailed, nice build
-Nice variety of planes
-Nice & clear PDFs
-Free PDFs
-Nice professional show (Chad touch I assume, nice intro, nice music, nice theme, nice colors, nice inserts, nice nice nice)
PROFESSIONAL
So far, the best RC show I ever seen. With this quality, you guys could have a show on national TV.
Give me a way to reward you guys for the good work, without having to pay the post office for handling things I can built on my own
D O N A T I O N
Maybe they are others like me, skilled enough to build on their own and who want to reward for good work without rewarding the post office for their good work
You may not get significant amount of money by this channel but this is not its purpose.
Its purpose is to allow people to thank you the way they can, even if they can build their own RC planes.
Allow donations would be great.
Over all, my planes flight experience is limited to 2 shots during those 20 yrs of RC
Both flights last something like 35 sec, so I would say something like 1 min in the air in 20 yrs - I am more a builder for the moment.
For the first one - 15 yrs ago, my father, brother and me built together a TAXI plane, out of balsa wood, spent 2 month building this thing during the WE, then covering with plastic film and ironing.
We crashed it in 35 sec top time, never rebuild it.
The second flight was my first SpitFire, I think balance was bad, and I thing its not for a beginner even coming from RC copter.
35 sec in the air than crash but I fixed it building an other fuselage out of 1$ foam board, taking again so much fun building and fixing the thing (wings were not butchered in the process).
How cool is that ?
Actually, the two Spits I ordered are still in their box and will stay in until I found a use for them.
I will start the building of the FT racer this WE I think.
Thanks Flite Test Crew, and please, allow people to donate.
