RE: Almost made it to the runway
yeah you have a reel in speed of about 2500-9500rpm's. That fish won't even know what hit him. 
Sorry about the airplane. [sm=drowning.gif] Hopefully its easy to fix.

RE: Almost made it to the runway
I always wondered, what happens when all the electronics and motor gets wet? I am very tempted hovering over a pong, but still need lots of practive for that stunt.

I agree , I think I went cross eyed for a minute or 2 
Check out the video page , so far the sail plane with brushless set up was the best.

I saw that done on the TV the other day. Looked awsome, the guy pretty much had his rudder in the water!

RE: Almost made it to the runway
Even if the water reached up to the servos in the wing and the cowl was totally submerged, everything seems to be in a surprisingly good condition. I dissembled the servos to let them dry, and gave the engine (saito fa 100) a huge amount of after run oil, and the bird is now back in business!

RE: Almost made it to the runway
Reminds me on when I first started to fly, I was flying the NexSTAR and it went dead stick as well, I was trying to glide it in against the wind for a nice landing as the wind was strong that day, and well I didn’t quite make it to the runway, what I did was sore above a big pond and landing real nice on the WATER, Poor NexSTAR was floating like a duck. That day I had my heat gun with me so I fired it up, dried it out and took it right back in the air!! I got pretty lucky.
