Awesome build job Steve without instructions. (now available http://www.tufflight.com/bouncer_manual.pdf )
I had the honor to fly the second flight of Steve's Bouncer. I was pleased to find it flew as good or better than my prototypes. I remember saying check this out as I flew across the field about 15' high with my right hand out to the side!
But it was still white at the time. Nice paint job dude. Can't wait to see the videos.

good news, the first doz sold in hours. We are working on 36 more now and will let you know when they are ready.
I am planning to make my current Boncer into a night flyer using those led strips and a 10 amp brushed ESC to switch them and dim them. I'll post some pics when I finish.

Here is some more from yesterday.
These things are taking over I tell ya!

I only wish I can fly mine that well. Soon, soon......Maybe.
Makes a perfect 3D trainer though. So tough that the fear of crashing is gone.

Hey Keyman! It was fun pitting next to you. You were the most prepared flyer I've ever seen and the fastest draw in town when someone needed a tool or part, or charger, or ...

I really like my Blade Dancer and Boom but you do need to do modifications for more rudder throw and a few others. I want a Bouncer when the next round are available. The finish in the EPP leaves something to be desired to me but the
fact that they survive some good crashing is great.

Is no one building these planes? I have one finished except radio install. I need to take some pics. I made a few small mods but it is a nice kit.

Hey looks great Kev.

How come you don't have a foot of snow in YOUR yard?

Are all the boucers the same or have the planes been revised since they were 1st released?

Robert,

There have been several revisions over the last year. The latest online manual is rev 1.6.

Do you have a specific question/complaint?

Joe

Beat ya to it. I have two, a day and a night one. Now I need one that can get me over the Verazzano Bridge without having to pay the stupid $14 Toll. Boy do I miss NY.

Trying hard to get my funds together this month to order 1, I'll post my build here.
