How to make a Fighterbird into something EXTREME!
Hello All,
Well I modified another RC airplane. If you want to check it out, the links below will take to the fields behind my house.
Check out new video, using the DOUBLE-X configuration!
There are two new clips,
"The full DOUBLE-X RC video clip (low resolution)
http://f2.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/QHdjP78...0the%20NET.mpg
and the
"X-roll vid clip full res 4sec" clip!
http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/QHdjP9J...%204sec%20.mpg
The DOUBLE-X configuration is what I warned you about in earlier post!
What it is.....One stock Fighterbird, an Aerobird's X-Tail, 7cell battery, and a modified Firebird XL wing!
THIS THING WILL ROLL SO FAST, YOU WOULD SWEAR IT HAS THE WORLDS LARGEST AILERON FLAPS! It is very hard to control, but so much fun! Unfortunately, the flaps would get stuck in the FULL down position which resulted in....well watch the video. I did pull it off the first time. I wish the video was zoomed in more, so you could see how crazy this configuration got.
THE VIDEOS ARE BOTH 2 to 3 MBs and will take up to 10 min each to download if you are using 56k.
Big Thanks form the Procrastinator
My batteries are charging, and soon, I shall be up there... AGAIN!

RE: How to make a Fighterbird into something EXTREME!
hey pro!! yeah i did something like that w\my commander, just the x-tail an 7-cell batt.can u say extreme?? pylon turns, it will hook all the way around in about 40 ft. i havent been able to do a snap roll yet but have gotten inverted. when im just doin hot laps ya relly got to goose it thru the turn and then take the edge off the throttle when u exit. i havent (luckily)exp. locking the tail in the down possition, have you found a solution to that yet? keep up the good work! Ted , aka flip-flop-fly!
