Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread


hey pete..

I am all flippy floppy right now about the deps or two servos, I've also totally re thunk going electric anytime soon... So I think my second vf3 will have two servos as it's quicker to build.

You know flying electric is a lot like buying an apple computer - yea the batteries maybe getting better but I have yet to see that promise of a lower price point for the batts. Oh I've heard all the stories over the last 3 years of better and cheaper batts - but yea - when will that price point get cheaper - they actually seem to be getting more expensive. I either need a really great sponsor or a sugar momma.

I put my first VF3 on the scales the other day - the complete airframe is at 4 lbs 3 oz ready for fiberglass/finish - it could go electric - but I think I am going to stay with the DZ

I am about to get all over this build thread again and I am real close to finishing that v2 I've been painting on for the last month. I think I am up to 7 colors on the fuse right now. Time to put down the Iwata and shoot some clear dammit

also stay tuned for a little black magic foamy action

later all.....
