@Foamtest - Did I get it wrong - were you planning to load some build videos? or was that just Daniel Kezar

 

[foamtest]

I am but I am at my grandmothers at the moment, I will upload them tonight. One is a better video of the mustang flying and the other is the build for the Discovery. I have the mustang one edited and the discovery one half way done. I'll try and get that uploaded over night tonight. Will post updates later.

UPDATE, I can’t upload the videos tonight because my parents are watching Netflix but they will be uploaded sometime tomorrow/ this weekend.

when you live in a rural area with wicked slow internet.... when i upload, everything in the house slows down. heh heh.
cant wait to see it!

All I have to do is THINK about uploading and the computer reboots...

haha! mine crashes randomly. no "restarting" screen. just acts like there was a power outage. blank screen, fan and HDD wind down. its annoying when it happens and i lose progress on something.

 

[Userofmuchtape&glue]

Yeah.. my old XP did that. Was annoying!

Now I got a windows 10, which I hate. chrome won't work, it opens but about 2' to the right of the screen so you can't see it. then, about every two days the screen randomly turns on, I lose all my desktop icons and only have the desktop picture. Have to restart after that... but at least it take 28 seconds to restart!

i dont think its a problem with win10. probably your pc is old or something is wrong. mine is fine. how often do you shut it down? i shut mine down every night.

 

[Userofmuchtape&glue]

That could well be. We bought the computer for $100 from a computer business, and they didn't even know if it would work. It looks pretty new, and it gets shut down every couple days to get rid of the screen issue. All those symptoms are just a dodgy computer I'm sure, but I don't like 10 just for things like drivers etc. for flight controllers and all that.

congrats on your great experience! good talk.

[foamtest]

Thanks for the compliments Daniel, and it is awesome introducing people to this hobby. And yeah it is a really easy build, but it takes some experience to fly, but it does crash really well.

I echo all these sentiments. You look like you had so much fun!

 

[foamtest]

It was fun flight with an awesome new plane, I will try and upload the build video tonight but I am not sure if my parents would be willing to not use the internet for the night though lol.

haha i find it funny when people say "it crashes well" as if the crashing was more important than flying. i know what it means but it's still a queer expression.

 

[foamtest]

I mean more fun comes from crashes than flights, the only exception that I have found to this rule was ben’s giant XB-70. Other than that crashing is the best part of this hobby in my eyes.
