Second flight...
If you live in FL, then you know today it was windy and cold. At around 6 my dad got home and we went to this huge lot, but with 2 lakes to the sides. It was very windy and cold, I told my dad that you guys say its impossible to fly in these conditions, but i still went ahead. That thing was CRAZY!! moving eveywhere like a kite, i almost lost it twice, did like 6 loops to get it back, I then figured out that i had to go against the wind, then lower throttle, and let the wind take me and land, it was a fast landing, and sideways too. But the plane is once again intact ;)

Is it luck or blind skill? You be the judge!

RE: Second flight...
Use your logic... ;)
|
RE: Second flight...
Fly it into the wind. You will have more control and land much slower.
|
RE: Second flight...
Keep landing down wind and you WILL have problems. Do you understand what happens when a wing stalls and what causes it? You were lucky. Use your logic...
|
RE: Second flight...
Nice!! (Keep on using ur Knowlage like that and u will become an expert!!)

RE: Second flight...
Omg this airplane is AWESOME... Today i finally flew in a "normal" environment... A huge polo field with fiiine grass. It was paradise, (after my first 2 flights heh). Anyways I did rolls and loops and corscrews and catarats with that thing, I also did touch and go's everywhere, flyby's, you name it, this thing has so much power i wonder if its close to infinite vertical? Its so much fun, but at the same time, I already feel like I wana fly something FAST ;) Anything else i should try with this ALPHA? (I already got the dual prop). I cant wait till the next time I go!!

Or maybe you can use that "wild" imagination to write a novel about your flying experiences. |
RE: Second flight...
hehe DEWalt. but it is a bit harsh...
Everyone exaggerates... ALPHA will NEVER have unlimited vertical, with that stock Evolution engine. what's a catarat? If it was a spelling mistake it would have been Cataract, but what's a Cataract in RC terms? Ps GTac: Hope your next flight goes smoothly. |
RE: Second flight...
What is a "catarats" maneuver?
|
RE: Second flight...
A "Cataract" maneuver is when the plane spins, rolls and loops all at the same time, at a blinding velocity, seemingly out of control.
So fast, in fact, that it appears "blurred" Hence the name "Cataract" That's my story and I'm sticking to it... |
RE: Second flight...
So let me get it straight, a week ago you flew by yourself for the first time ever, one flight, then a coupld days ago, you were asking how to start the engine and remove a stripped screw, then yesterday you flew in a huge wind and did loops to get it back, and today you are flying 3D and unlimited vertical, all with a trainer.
Hmmmmm, Better roll up your pants, its too late to save your shoes. [X(] |

Man these kids are GOOD.:eek: Slight exaggerations are one thing, gross exaggerations make you lose your credibilty. Once tarnished its very hard for others to ever see you shine. |

ORIGINAL: zetor Made famous by the high performance alpha trainer. Let's face it guys, this kid is just too good for us. I'm selling all of my equipment and taking up tennis. :D |
RE: Second flight...
:) hahahaha. This is too much. I was thinking about asking for lessons. hahahahaha
A legend in his own mind. |
RE: Second flight...
WOW!!! That was quite a third flight (day) you really need to get us a another picture of this plane, it seems to be a really good one :)
|
RE: Second flight...
Well you guys also like to make fun of it and make it be "unbelievable". First of all i never said i DID unlimited vertical, i did do loops and rolls and tricks. I said its "CLOSE" to unlimited vertical, A TRAINER SHOULD NOT HAVE UNLIMITED VERTICAL
|
RE: Second flight...
I had a Sig Kadet once that had nearly unlimited vertical.
Too bad it was vertically down..... Andy |
RE: Second flight...
My SUperstar has nearly unlimited vertical never tried unlimited. But of course the supre tigre 51 ringed helps alot.
|
RE: Second flight...
LOL, tennis..... funny story, i want the 5 mins of my life back :eek:[:'(]
|
RE: Second flight...
You guys are haters, nothing else. You chose to come here and rant and rave, kick and scream, and generally just be obnoxious. Now you can't understand why people make fun of you? You want sympathy? Look it up. It falls between sh !t and syphilis in the dictionary. Dennis- |
RE: Second flight...
This forum should have an ignore button. You know, like chats.
Anyways, today it was windy again :/ . Bush Pilots werent flying so I had to fly by myself. |
RE: Second flight...
He's just excited.. give him a break.. he's just a kid! Make this hobby inclusive, not exclusive. If a kid is bragging and its obviously not true, just ignore the post. No need to fight him when (I assume) you are much older and supposedly wiser... :eek:
If on the other hand you are all a bunch of 14 year old kids, ignore this post. Where did I put that tennis racket? P. |

And I invite you to my house so you can be taught by a 14 year old, and consider tennis ;) |

RE: Second flight...
Nah, you dont have it straight.
|
RE: Second flight...
****

RE: Second flight...
FLYBOY, I do hate my teachers alot, I dont know if they hate me, after all I did get straight A's last 9 weeks...
|
RE: Second flight...
So, when you do all these fabulous flights, how far away from the regular RC field are you and how many of their planes have you shot down so far by acting like you are and trying to prove something? [X(]
|
RE: Second flight...
What do you mean????? [&:]
About 30 minutes away from the rc field, and ive shot no airplanes down, ITS NOT THAT HARD TO FLY!!, specially a trainer i mean! ????????? |
RE: RE: Second flight...
I never said it was hard. I am glad you can do it. What people are trying to tell you is you have a really dangerous attitude. Thats why you are getting a lot of crap. Unfortunately, you don't listen to what people say, and you think you have to prove something. I had a friend like that growing up. Unfortunately, he hasn't changed in 20 years and people still hate being around him. Think about it if you can understan it. Noone wants to be around someone with the attitude you have been flippin at everyone.

RE: RE: Second flight...
your saying your 6yr/pld sister is hot? i don;t wanna know!

RE: RE: Second flight...
Now fellas,let's be nice to each other.
We are all coming here for some reasons:some tell a stories,others to brag 'bout ***** and some (like me) ,especially in this forum to learn something.Let's just share experience and give each other a hints and advices instead of fingers ;). PEACE! |
RE: Second flight...
ORIGINAL: GTac01 What do you mean????? [&:] About 30 minutes away from the rc field, and ive shot no airplanes down, ITS NOT THAT FRIKIN HARD TO FLY!!, specially a trainer i mean! ????????? What Flyboy is getting at is if you're going to fly on your own please make sure that you do it at least three miles (and preferably five miles) away from an organised flying field. If you're flying too close to an existing field then you could be causing someone on the same channel as you to crash every time you turn on your transmitter. If you're not going to fly at a club, please try to at least be courteous to them and the shared frequencies. Cheers, Neil. |
