chopper choppers MR. DAVE
Thank you SO MUCH for the complimentary report about my flying for J Michael.
To sustain your claim here is the picture of the combo that was used.
You can see the cradle and maybe the release mechanism. I did indeed fly 2 simultaneously, even many many times.
I am responding because I will now attempt to go UP ONE NOTCH, thusly :
I am waitlisted for the 1/4 scale Hangar9 PIPER CUB J3 (Plug and play) from Horizon RC. when it comes in :
I plan to enlarge the cradle by 1/3
Put a famous 3 METER GLIDER on top. this is the full scale MINIMOA, a most beautiful glider, you can look it up in (WORLD MODELS). PICTURE (SMALL) ENCLOSED FOR YOUR REFERENCE
Even though it sounds a lot like EVEL KNIEVEL stuff, flying two like this is NOT too complicated provided you remember :
1 - you must get UP to a great height
2- it's best when the wind is very light or none at all
3 - the glider will just float ( trimmed correctly ) and wait for you to come back to pilot it
4- spin the powered plane down, cut throttle and deadstick-land as fast as possible (with NO WIND you can come in from any direction)
EASY
I will take movies of this project (likely this SPRING)
RICK HAPPY NEW YEAR !
p.s. after THIS is done several times I will attempt to fly this combo AND TOWING one additional GLIDER with 100' of line.........note: For this stunt I may have to use a standby pilot J.I.C.
but i still Can't fly A HELICOPTER WORTH A DARN [sm=cry_smile.gif]
