RE: Sunshine State Crashes
Man I have many pictures, I just have to find them. The first pic of the pattern plane was trown in the garbage with all the electronics minus engine[&o], The owner is a pretty cool guy and I know he was very upset we all felt the pain when it happen.
The other planes where just trashed, or the owners mad enough to finish them off!

RE: Sunshine State Crashes
That seems to be the difference within RC, some people are upset when there plane goes down, and others are also upset, but don't show it.
Lets just say that I hope if my any of my planes crash its either non-damaging or absolutely spectacular

Yeah, and I bet the pattern ship had coreless servos, ball bearing linkages, HD horns and all sorts of expensive extras. Did all of that stuff get thrown out too? Some of that stuff gets quite costly.

RE: Sunshine State Crashes
Hey neighbor how do you like the rapier ? I mentioned it in these forums and no one knew what it was.
Look at you all retired and whatnot, my parents are both retired and are moving to Florida , I can't wait to fly my planes in those skies. I'm 35 acting like I'm 10 [:-].
As far destroying planes I don't spend much on the ones I fly so if I crash one a month it's only a drop in the bucket to get another one, not to mention the good feeling I get when I get a new bird.
I just completed my Mini Bee EPP wing. Today I will maiden it and take pics and do a write up on it. I put a 3 cell LIPO pack in it and think I already need a bigger motor for the pack.

He never gives up! same guy.
After the Skymaster went in he decided to give it another shot, he ran out of planes after this one.
The camera is always on the prowl.

RE: Sunshine State Crashes
Hey Guys
Here's another one for the sunshine state crashes. I put my Avistar into a flat spin today and when I came out of it the wing folded in half !!! (Hard to fly with only a rudder and elevator!!)
I can't believe it suffered this much damage and did not break the prop. Looks like the inside rib on the right wing half just let go. []
My SIG Somethin' Extra should be here in a day or so, no more arfs for me.

RE: Sunshine State Crashes
Thanks Evfast
I was guess really pushing it to its limit, just wish they would stop gluing these things together with hot glue guns. I have never had a kit that I have built do anything like this. Like I said that was my last ARF. Maybe we should start calling them Almost Ready to Fail LOL.
