Flying Field Nicknames we probably don't want....

Did you get another slick?

Same one. Still waiting on the hatch from when it exploded in September.

Didn’t you crash the slick because of a switch failure?

 

[BATTLEAXE]

Yea that's the one I was talking about, the one you couldn't even recognize as a plane upon landing, the one you shared with your dad

 

[Hoomi]

Magoo! That's an old one!

"Oh, Magoo! You've done it again!"

That one was the MXS. The slick is the one 3D Ken gave me at huckfest.

Ohh, so you still have the slick. I thought that’s the one you demolished.

I hope to never demolish it, but flying it in freestyle the meeting with the ground is more likely

Lol - I can’t say how scared I would to fly it! The ft-3D is good enough for me...

The foamies are the way to go! You have gotta work your way up to the big birds. Maybe stop in on one of the sundays on imac events for freestyle. You will see me up there.

Freewing edfs are the bomb. Just bought a 8s f-22

That puppy looks sweet. So, you happy with Freewing products I take it. Been looking at them on MotionRC. They seem a little higher price point wise compared to say E-flite but the attention to detail is pretty amazing. I love warbirds and a spitfire will likely be my next purchase. I have have the E-flite F16 sitting in the workshop for about a month now. Just got back into flying after like 8 years away. Been getting confidence back with the FT simple cub...and having a blast! Think the F16 tbird will go up next week since I have 3 works off work.
Do you have any other Freewing birds?

My goal is to make it to Tuscon Aerobatic shootout in a few years. Gonna start competing next year in IMAC so we will maybe hopefully fulfill that dream.

Good luck with IMAC! We have a couple of guys at our field that are constantly practicing for that, and there's one guy, name of James D'Eliseo, who just does absolutely INSANE precision. I've seen him take an 80" wingspan Cub and crank it around doing 3D flight. While he's doing it, and we're just watching him make it harrier and roll with our jaws dropped, he's telling us, "Oh, yeah, I might be smoking one of the servos doing this. I mean, it's not really meant to fly like this, but hey, it's a lot of fun." LOL

I dunno if he's still competing, but if you ever see him at an IMAC event, ask him for some tips.

I feel like we would get along great lol. I force my planes to fly 3D also. Sig four stars do awesome tail whips. Ask me how I know lol

And yet you can’t fly the longEZ - what’s up with that?🤣

Shhhhh. That thing never flew. Had my dad try it and crash it. After we fixed it for the final time I held full elevon opposite of the torque and it flew for five feet then dove. CG was spot on too

Weird. Did you try giving it a little bit of a thrust angle?

I didn't. It only lasted a couple of attempts
