Default Fun Ideas

<span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Arial">Hi all, this is my first post to the thread.

Anyway I wanted to know if anybody has done anything to their planes or helicopters to make them fun. Like add smoke canisters or made a devicethat drops toilent paper,I want to know.LikeI just finished building an rc bomb/ parachute dropper. The reason for this thread is to share all of our fun ideas and maybe someone who looks at this post will decide too do that to thier plane or helicopter. Also, you can post videos or pictures of this device or "fun" thing in action.

Hey Johnny . You started this thread, and asked others to post photos, or videos, but forgot to include photos of your rc bomb / parachute dropper. Lets see it.

Hi johnny, A few years ago I worked up this airplane powered by a TT 61Pro. It was a bit trickey but under the fuselage is a servo that pulls a pin and the horizontal stabilizer/elevator falls off in flight on command. It is aided with a spring that pops it off with a nice loud report.

The gag goes something like this I takeoff on low power (high power would cause a steep pitch up uncontrollable with the stabilizer still attached ). Fly a stabile circuit and twenty feet stage center over the runway I drop the stab which departs with a loud bang and imediately pull into a vertical climb yelling to my caller to 'give me down trim' who pretends to be trying to get the trims for me. Next step is to pitch into a series of outside snaps and then make a lousy approach
and a landing that is not pretty (Thats a hard thing to fake).

Will get some pics up in a few minutes to avoid a time out, haven't flown the ship in may about five years now.

John
