Well my Floater jet determined that the explosive of the day is.... LiPo!
I lost my wings in a power dive on an 800 4 cell, and a 5X5X4 prop. Things went Boomboom.
On the bright side, chad wants sparks and such, and this counted as the explosive part.
Oh yeah, I broke 103 according to my doppler before all went boomboom!
The plane wasn't damaged in the explosion, as the battery was about 10 ft away.

COOL!!!! If only it was on video....
I had the same thing happen to me a while back, without the fireworks. I was ripping my Wing Surfer around in high winds and having a great time. Suddenly, RIIIIIPPP! Both wings extracted themselves from the fuse which performed a beautiful lawn dart while said wings fluttered down like confetti in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

Three days left to vote! Right now we are still at
earthsciteach
Which puts the wing one vote up over the spad, and drops the predator back to last place.
I am placing the order for whatever it is going to be at noon on Thursday. Right now, it is looking like the assassin (over the teksumo or other wing, because they ship from the US.)

And the Assassin is awesome! We need JetPackNinja back on here to back me up with this. How many planes do you have that can take a full speed impact to the ground and still keep flying? I'll take a wild guess - 0! Yeah, the Assassin is that tough. I've proven it first hand over and over again!
There is something so freeing about being able to fly without fear of damaging your airplane. But, once you have one, you will need a flying friend with something to spar with. I can personally testify that an Assassin can slice a Bixler in half and still keep flying. Really, the kid should have known better than put that plane in the air while I was flying the Assassin.

My official vote is for the [ultra] Spad Stick. That would be fun to build and fly. I would lean towards the ultra version b/c the 52" wing on the regular spad stick is kind of small.
What's a Titan? I saw the movie, Remember the Titans. It was a good movie.
52" is "kind of small?"

Well, if you want something BIG, try the Super Sky Surfer, but you live in VT, so I'm afraid the wings would lap into NH and NY.

Or the FA-18F Super Hornet:
Extendable leading edge slats, folding wings, opening canopy, thrust vectoring, 15 servos.....
I'd be scared to fly it. Just let my Son in Law, who maintains them at Naval Air Station Oceana, taxi it up and down the flight line and watch the reaction....
Koolest video ever, except for the little twerp wannabe at the beginning.

lol, pretty much. The bigger they are, the better they fly.
Seems that you cant make up your mind ;-)
I am flying my Stick every day now - in cold or wind or rain. The motor is behind the firewall and everything is inside the plane protected from weather. For the E-hawk you need the cooling opening and it is crowded inside the body so rain might search its way to the BEC or RX - i know ;-) But it will last a lawndart or two if the soil is not to hard.

So true. I cannot. My first plane was sorta an impulse buy, and the axn was an easy pick for a second. But now, picking a fourth plane is actually difficult.
Me either. This is why when I find an ARF on sale I know I'll eventually want to fly I go ahead and get it and "put it in que". ARF's get discontinued rather frequently so you know when you see one go on sale for much less, it'll probably be gone before too long. There are so many planes you can't get now from only a few years ago, and many I wish I had.
