LMFAO!!!!!! He must be related to those monkeys that steal your drinks on the beach in Belize.
I have one question for that little fella.....what radio is he using?

combatpigg 11-27-2014 08:00 PM

It's one of those all purpose "Boom Box"..RC radio...and fishing poles that he mainly uses to scamper around and lift women's dresses up with.

Anyone who has met me knows I don't have that much hair.:cool:

combatpigg 12-01-2014 10:44 AM

That shot must have been taken back when you were a Hippy...?

vicman 12-01-2014 10:47 AM

Being that I graduated in 85 and with a brush cut. I never really had a hippie stage. Unlike some of my brothers here.;)

Pylonracr 12-01-2014 11:22 AM

Hey
I resemble that remark!

vicman 12-01-2014 11:57 AM

Oh, I know there are some long haired galoots out there in the Revver Universe. I just aint one.
Have I flown like that guy?...yeah.

Oldest trick in the book.

No news to me there Speedy, I used to formulate and blend epoxy resins and structural adhesives years ago, and worked with urethane systems as well. Many of the special epoxies revered by modellers are no more than downpack product, with curatives that will function well despite relatively crude volumetric mixing by the end user. I love the word "System" - as soon as the manufacturer puts that on the label, you know you got the good stuff.. :rolleyes:

As far as Polane and other PU coatings go.. I can imagine the mayhem if isocyanate curative systems were off the LHS shelf. Even using reasonable precautions, I had an anaphylactic reaction to a particular HMDI curative once, that was fun. Off to emerg for the magic adrenaline shot.

I think I saw him at the Metro zoo the other day...

OK now I am confused. Are you guys picking on me or Vic???

MJD 12-02-2014 09:17 AM

Oh I don't know either. When I saw the picture I just had to post the old monkey-sniff video, regardless of the victim..

combatpigg 12-02-2014 01:41 PM

I'm not sure what species of hominid is in that photo, but I think he's got a more human looking face than the Great Apes have.
Just think, if you could teach one how to fly control line or RC, you'd never have to work another day in your life.

vicman 12-02-2014 06:35 PM

I confess, the second vid might have been me...last week.

You have a wife & a girl friend.........neat

MJD 02-12-2015 02:01 PM

I'm surprised a guy with three or more model airplanes has either..

So far the only problem I see with flyingmachine's fleet is that the engines are all the correct displacement for the aircraft. This will need some work. :o But they are definitely in the correct spirit, so welcome to the fray.

n8rloves2fly 02-12-2015 05:35 PM

Just saw the Rifle 1M from GP, added to must have list! Out of stock till June, five months, guess I can get a motor and everything else. Looks great any suggestions?

Speed comes in many sizes here is my latest adventure the NANO .010

41.985 per rpm App
41.700 per Doppler / 59 mph with stock black 3 x 1.25 prop

3.11oz RTF with 5g of 35% nitro on board

Short clip of the pass at 41.700 to 41,985 rpm perhaps someone has some good software to confirm my efforts.

For the TD .010 this is skorchin some air, taken from the 5th test flight
from progressively tweaking the needle to the sweet spot.

You nailed it. 49.8 mph and .4 pound static thrust at 41,985rpm. http://personal.osi.hu/fuzesisz/strc_eng/

Here's my own design "Bullet". Converted to electric from .46AX glow. Scorpion HKIII 4025-1100 heli motor and 9x6 APC sport prop on 6S 4500 pack. Every bit of 105 mph and unlimited vertical. Flew it first time this spring. What a rip.http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2154112
