RE: Slow Ride?
You know those little Champagne bottle things where you pull the string and it goes POP and paper streamers come out..... Mount the champagne bottle to the side of the plane, tie the string to a servo.....
At the appropriate time...Hit the switch.....POP...out come streamers.
There's something Ive been wanting for a long time....
I'd like to see a mix of Precision 3D combined with music, and even start adding flair to the performances. Themed airplanes and performances.
Picture going to a flying competition. You sit down in the bleachers. A door at the end of the arena opens up, you see fog come in from the door, this light backlights the fog....You hear Metallica's "For whom the bell tolls" start playing...BONG....BONG.....all of a sudden this plane comes zipping out through the fog inverted right down on the deck, the music picks up the beat. The plane has a big tombstone painted on the top, and a silohette of a cowboy on a horse (or something). The pilot is standing on the side dressed in head to toe like a old west gunfighter. The plane starts doing these over the top insane 3D maneuvers. The pilot pulls the plane up into a hover. This guy dressed like a gunfighter walks through the door. Its a dual. Between the plane and the gunfighter. The gun fighter draws and fires a shot (fake of course). The pilot drops the nose into a blender, indicating it was "hit". Right before it hits the ground, he snaps it back up into a hover. A strobe light flashes, the gunfighter collapses. The plane wins..............
You get the idea. Make indoor 3D flying like a theatrical performance.
You have to admit, if you went to a flying competition like that, it would KICK SERIOUS ***
Perhaps have it judged like the olympic skating programs, scores for
technical difficulty, presentation, originality, etc.
