Status: offline 		Yep - is a piece of cake. You did identify your model first I hope?

You should find it will work far better now, and you also have some other options added like Low Res recording. Why?? I dunno... they thought it was a good idea!!

Status: offline 		I bought the 4 channel version recently. The rudder is very flimsy and the motor controling the ailerons is temperamental. There also seem to be serious problems with the reciever as sometimes, all the control systems don't work at all, and others work independant of the radio transmitter. I have not even got it off the ground and am contacting the manufacturers (art-tech). Otherwise, it looks good and I cannot wait till I get it in the air.

Status: offline 		Mongrel,

I see what you mean about the quality of the flycamone2,very clear I might buy one one day:P

It's nice to know i'm not the only one who crashes in trees (nice vid though)

Where i fly there are many surrounding trees but they are at a safe hight to fly over them,But there are two trees together and a bit higher

They seem to be like magnets ,I finished my cessna off at the base of one and landed my Red Arrow in one,Its not easy to avoid them

So now i make sure i fly far away from them now

I like your website BTW

Stu.

Status: offline 		Solostu - the problem with the Slow Stick was a sticking rudder servo, giving it a constant spiral effect. Did I hear that right, Mongrel crashed? Nay, never - he's been on the BBQ/beers thread slagging me off cos I crashed my EZ* a few times, but he doesn't tell us about his anti-gravity experiments with the ground!!! Oh, how the mighty have fallen (from a great height) - he who casts the first stone etc... and Blessed are the Cheesegraters........been watching Life of Brian too much.... see ya soon......

It still surprises me how easy it is to miscalculate the distance to a tree. I think it is one of those unsolved mysteries that I reckon will turn up in Unsolved Mysteries on Discovery Channel!
Thanks re the Website!!

TAM - I never said I don't crash... I was commenting on the fact that you crashed an Easy Star. The plane that will fly if you fart in its general direction... (Hmm another shameless plug to Monty Python)

Cheers

We all have to crash in a tree once in a while ,there wouldn't be any fun in flying if we didn't ,

Mongrel,i'm not up to scratch with the Easy star,and haven't seen the crash,so i can't comment on your view

did you both see my fatal crash in a tree??(worse than yours Mongrel)

but... i have managed to do some more flying since the crash and had some great results

well if you haven't watched my crash yet,here it is

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rN6-uNpx20E

funny when i'm looking up the tree wondering how i'm gonna get it back down

Nice crash mate!!

An Easy Star is like a glider. It is harder to get it down than it is to get it up!!
