She's looking like a mamba, and I love it! I might fly mine tomorrow depending on how everything goes. I also want to fly the ft-3D.

That looks so cool, is that a mamba logo or did you do that yourself

It is the Mamba design, but I cut it out of colored packing tape. I put it down on some wax paper first, then cut out the design. After that it was peel and stick like a decal.

Looks sharp! Well done!

This is just the second one.

 

[BATTLEAXE]

It definitely looks a lot better then the first one. Was the nose cone hard to design?

 

[The Hangar]

Have you had a successful flight with one yet, or has the only one been 20 seconds and then the crash?

 

[BATTLEAXE]

You crashed the first one? Man I gotta catch up on the thread lol

NO, I found a cone calculator on the internet that tells you the diameter and and angle to draw it out so that it comes out a cone of the desired size when done.

No, i glue the first one back together and it was flying nicely until the damaged servo from the first crash locked up and destroyed it on the second crash.

Quick update. shooting for Sunday Maiden.

 

[BATTLEAXE]

The black/white/red looks awesome, and you used it in all the right places too. I like the formed battery hatch too.

 

[chris398mx]

Ready for maiden!!! If it survives, I put put a little more color on it.
