My first attempt at a micro...

Penguin and Emu - heavy with small wings ..................
Cant fly

Whoever painted that must be a graphic designer / descriptive photographer.

Good point. Here's another thought, Rockets are very very heavy and have no wings at all. Raw power might be enough. Controlling it may be a problem.

Nope. I'm in the building and construction industry!

The penguin is a bit rubbish, I was too busy laughing to visualise it.

Got it in one.

Someone there suggested a QANTAS kangaroo. Problem with that (I thought) is that a Kangaroo sees more air time than this 'FAIL' will! So we joked and put on the emu and penguin.

Ahh - good times, good times.

Well, you messed up a little with the penguin, as they can fly under water... I just need a really really humid day so I've got nice thick air, which should fix the Reynolds issues for me!

*happy to see 'jens' has faith!*

 

[colorex]

OK, so I got to assume you two (glydr and lobstermash) are friends, neighbors or family... Which one is it?

 

[lobstermash]

Hey glydr, you haven't voted yet!

 

[lobstermash]

Friends. We also go to the same church and Bible study and occasionally (ie probably not as often as we'd like) fly together. I have to concede that he is a much more experienced and knowledgeable pilot... yet he still flies Spektrum...

 

[glydr]

I've voted now.

Spektrum. Meh, that sounds like a comment from a Turnigy fan boy.



At least with Spektrum you can buy a BNF micro that can fly!

I'm surprised LM hasn't mentioned my micro fail. I tried to resurrect a Stevens Aero diddle something or other for the indoor last weekend. Couldn't leave the ground to the merriment of all watching.

 

[lobstermash]

Haha, yeah, that was a chuckle. The poor thing rocked side to side.

 

[glydr]

I think I had a dynamic polyhedral issue, that's depron for you.

Sorry to miss your sms LM, would have loved to watch your plane smash but I was at the Rugby (Brumbies won!). Some time this weekend?

 

[lobstermash]

Yeah, I remembered when I checked fb and saw one of my colleagues was there... I'm still waiting to hear confirmation about whether I'm fishing today (Saturday), and I'm at a baby shower (which blokes are meant to as well apparently) on Sunday arvo... Hopefully it'll happen today!

 

[glydr]

Yeah, I remembered when I checked fb and saw one of my colleagues was there

Bet he wasn't in a corporate box!

'Twas awesome. Picture this, I'm standing there chatting with some blokes in the box with antipasto, beer, wine and softies laid on and along comes one of the players (Tevita Kuridrani) to our box to meet us and have a quick chat!

And we won 19-17! (My voice is still hoarse from cheering).

But yes, back on topic. Charging batteries now in anticipation of a fly today (hopefully fishing is cancelled).

 

[lobstermash]

Well, I still haven't heard re fishing, but I'm assuming it's not happening... Just adding another wing to 'The Fail'! It will be a 'Bi-fail'!

 

[Banshee]

Don't complain about the baby shower! You were told to take your planes so you and the poor dad-to-be can go flying!

 

[lobstermash]

Some pics of the latest design, with my old puppy in shot.

 

[glydr]

Get ready to laugh; will be with LM at the field within the hour!

Remember to bring your camera!
