Not to sidetrack the thread, but does anyone know if there are plans to roll the field and cut it shorter?

Yes, and probably (That came up Thursday over on the FF15 Question Thread)



Strix,

That's the one To see that cub push through sending part flying wildly was one of the single most impressive combat hits I've seen. Right up there with KFC's Airliner getting taken out at SEFF a few years back:

Thanks for the mention in the podcast. I'll have to make sure Bixler says my last name right one of these days though. LOL

 

[nerdnic]

lol! How do you actually pronounce it? And I was very surprised that Austin pronounced my name right, I didn't tell him beforehand or anything so it definitely caught me off guard. Having a name with a silent H almost always ends in failure when someone tries to say it at first.

It's pretty easy if you break it down actually. Spon... (not spoon like the eating utensil, ON as in opposite of OFF)...holz (like holes). To make it even easier....

BTW, I thought your name was pretty easy.

I'm finally getting started on your build nic! The wing is all cut out and ready for decals and tape. Did you want to go with 3 or 4 channels?

(pssst -- hide the rudder servo in the fuse, mix it with another channel and make it a "surprise" mid-flight )

Woo! 3 is good, I'll be too busy full stick mashing during battle to even use a rudder

Ha! Trying to capitalize on my lack of pre flight checks.. I like it.

You are underestimating our evilness. It would just come to life after 4 or 5 times full throttle.

Wait?!? that was all we had to do? threaten to remotely crash his plane?!? Why didn't anyone tell us this!!!

We coulda picked up one of those dual RX buddybox modules and really played havok!!!!

I'm really liking the BLUE/WHITE Baron! I think I'll keep it make a pink one for nic?

Put glasses on it. She'll be invincible in combat -- nobody hits a girly plane with glasses!

Good idea SPONZ. and while your at it put on the slowest motor the baron can handle

Nerdnic, you should know the Flite Test community enough to be afraid of possible shenanigans. I wouldn't even be surprised if it had a remotely triggered explosive device on board like David did for april fools
