Default RE: Stryker combat

What do you guys typically use for streamers?

I have never done combat before but interested in doing it some with some friends...

All i can see is my delta wing hitting his streamer, and it getting sucked into and wrapping around my prop and motor and dropping my plane out of the sky...

On a side note most of those damages looked repairable with Gorilla glue...

My friend crashed his stryker wide open at like 60mph into the sidewalk and fractured the thing from wing to tip on both sides, even across the carbon rod which was amazing, popped a chunk of the nose off too..

Mix some glue and water up, put a bunch on it and hold it in place for 30 mins while we watched TV and now its totally flight worthy again, he just has to sand down some of the excess glue that foamed up from the cracks and get a new motor(shaft bent like 60 degree's) and hes flying again

Even though the body's for the strykers are cheap, its still a huge PITA to rebuild. You gotta first find a way if possible to remove the fins without breaking them, then remove the elevons and servos...
