Streamer knots

[foamboardRCme]

I kind of want to see if you guys can put streamers on your planes, and tie knots, or a knot in the streamer. That would be sooooo cool, I don't know if it's an easy deal or people do it all the time or not, but if it's a new idea, I wanna see it done by you guys.

If you had a 3D plane and a long streamer I could see doing it. Wouldn't really be easy though. Not the first time anyway. I wonder how many times you cut your own streamer before you get it lol.

 

[foamboardRCme]

lol, yeah, that's exactly the reason i wanna see it done, especially by these guys.

That's a funny idea, great thinking..

A knife edge loop followed by a quick back flip might do it if you're streamer's long enough. Or maybe just a tight loop and then a barrel roll?

It does sound like a fun challenge.

I got the idea when they did the vertical drag race if I remember right, and Josh Bixler says something along the lines of "We're really tying knots with these things!" That got me thinkin' could you actually tie a knot with a streamer attached to your aircraft?

Well, check out the new FT Versa wing episode, they kind of make a knot in a streamer

Was that around the camera man? or when they bolted into ground? hehe

You might even suspect they'd planned to live up to your challenge (given the huge roll of streamer David dropped when launching)

 

[foamboardRCme]

I wish.... hehe

 

[foamboardRCme]

I REALLY want to see it done

Just curious but what do you guys use for streamers?

I have to try this! Shouldn't be too difficult if you have a long enough streamer and large throws. An FT 3D or a Spitfire would do it quite nicely I'm guessing.
