Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

nothing to do with RC or the AA...but, the Twins rule. sorry Neuro and a high-five to the ex-minnesotan, DJ

on second thought, all minnesota teams are renowned for choking hard at the last moments, so we'll see how it goes

anyway, back to the AA, i built this one this last weekend, a Burt Rutan PondRacer. this is actually the 2nd one i built. the first one was far too small and made out of some really crappy foam. this new one is all 1/16 and 1/32 balsa with the AA Jet electronics. because of the swept forward wing design, the plane doesnt really stall in the typical way - the nose just never drops down. it also can take corners like a nascar driver, none of my past planes would bank as steep as this one during a turn, it looked like it was doing a knife edge.

i'm probably going to remove the AA electronics and put in the 3 channel BR RX so i can stick an elevator on the tail and get some loops out of it. should be quite fast too! and, i know i know, it needs some color (if i do a 2nd one, it'll get some printed tissue graphics).
