Default Mach Racer Speed 3-D

Here is a short video showing what you can do with a $99 ARF and too much free time. After seeing a Jerry Smith Outlaw delta do some wild maneuvers I decided to modify my Mach Racer so that the twin horizontal stabs became twin rudders. The video is short because in the midst of filming this another pilot lost control of an electric plane and just about hit me and my friend who was flying the Delta who was distracted by the plane just about taking both of our heads off. Needless to say the Mach Racer went in. But the good news is it is repairable and will fly again soon.

Cool video Dale. Now take that speed prop off and put a 11.5 x 4 on that engine and it would hover much better. Probably make a great experiment.

Twin HORIZONTAL stabs? Only if you're holding it by a wing tip.....

Cool video especially with the electric going by....

I was gonna do a Shrike 40 many years ago. I had a Rossi 53 and a full length pipe. I had intended on running a 9x9. I sold it without flying it.

That looks like fun!
