Default RE: Capiche 50

it's a problem with having to learn to do something new on less than perfect surfaces
at least most other hard to do 3D things can be done at height.
my attempts started as normal elevators that i just didn't pull out of, that was the first time the plastic bolts snapped, What looks like 1-2' per second float on the way down is infact, once you get to about eye level, is 4-5' per second[X(]
i then tried the blip of power to slow the decent but that just raised the nose so much i decided not to try that lower, trying it again and letting off the elevator at the same time got me into a very snappy stall type thing.
Until i can do what look like good harrier landings at height i won't try it on the deck again, tho i do now have soft 3" wheels and metal bolts
or if i finialy get around to building a SPA3D

Becides, with the jinx caused by the time delay of getting it flying again i'm not throwing anything risky at it for a while. What ever made me think it'd be flying within two weeks

think that "subaru" look on Kevins C50 is great[sm=thumbup.gif]
