RE: car/plane
lots of good idears here. Our plan was that my buddy would take his transmiter and fly it and have his seprate reciever on the car. and I would have my transmiter and my reciever on the car. but we would use the same battery to save weight. These two hobbies are difinetly not ment to be mixed. in the car world heavyer parts is stronger and in my opinion better. in the plane wolrd it seems that everything needs to be light and duribiltiy is not a factor.
Also between the two of us we have a electric motor and speed controler. and plenty of servos. There is no doubt that there will be flight controls and ground controls.
it is currious to me if my buddy forced some doun pressure on the car how ever he would do that and I accelerated to top mph. and then the applied lift. how long would the car drift up into the air before it would lose momentum and touch back doun again. I guess it is hard to predict with so many variables.
Oh and as for time on my hands. Ya I got a quite a bit of that seenins how my buddy acutally was my employer untill he ran out of work for me. so it leaves me with no cash but LOTS of time on my hands.
