Wow, the kid comes on here obviously not knowing to much about RC streamer combat and you guys light him up. RRH instead of being ignorant maybe you should of explained to him what your version of RC combat is. And just because he doesn't want to chase streamers around does not mean his style is not combat. You should try what he is talking about some time. The planes carry a small IR combat system on their belly. When you fire at and hit the other plane his engine dies for a couple seconds. If you are to low this obviously ends with your plane on the ground. I'm sorry RRH if the fun others have is not SERIOUS enough for you. Next time I decide to have some fun I will resist the urge to smile so as not to upset you.
As for the original post I think the heli has the advantage. You should give this a try and let us know how it turns out. Only thing is don't use a seperate controller for the gunner. The plane pilot has to control everything so to make it fair so should the heli pilot.
Thank you, I will! Im a trainee, so I cant quite do all of the manuveres in the youtube video. All 3 of my helicopters are down so, im using Realfight G3 Online (sometimes i get good advice), so when im online ill start a room called RC Heli Combat. Why not? Its all for fun. Youll probably see me hovering alot, im trying to master hovering each direction so I can fly any direction. going upside down isnt quite an option yet...
The gunner thing would make it apache like was my point (so maybe we could add a couple RC Tanks and other ground based attack), and if you ever seen an apache fly, heck ya it can do a backflip! But Maybe i can swich it out pre flight if its always facing forward and I shoot or having a gunner option. I agree with you on that.
I was thinking of something like the youtube video, not streamer fight. But, now that i know what a streamer fight is (as i said before, this is my(now) 4th post in the airplane's section) that could be a possibility.
In a lazer fight, Ill explain:
The helicopter is complete with its own servo(s)
Then I buy just the Airplane's main servo (plus some other servo's to make the gun pivotable) and put the gun itself mouned on the pivotable part.
A Seperate controller would controll the gun. I would also have something for the main servo if i were to turn the pivotable gun off (like this dogfight).
But in order to tell if im done, how about I put on a bright light, and if im "shot down" it would kill the light?
But yea, this is great stuff! I have to get this youtube URL to this guy.
Still, keep voting and posting, this is really interesting stuff!
Edit:
Ooh! It went to helis being ahead by easily and average to planes being ahead by average!
