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...

Crepe paper - from the party section or you can use forrest marking tape which is waterproof but more expensive.

where do yall meet? i live in magnolia and i dont know of anyone out here into rc i have nitro/electric offroad and im building 2 airboats and as soon as i get a new job ( just got my EMT-b cert.) i want to get a plane ive flown a few times but i think im still gonna get an instructor anyways...

oh alright i know where that is almost baught a boat from those guys yea im gonna have to meet yall out there oneday after i get off work im a bouncer at a bar over in the woodlands might have to buy a striker and try to fly half asleep lol

For streamers you should try Hat trick streamers they are denecrepe(sp) abou 3/4 wide. I t would be a whole lot less drag on that airframe. I fly strykers but not for combat I save that for my avengers and scale stuff (rcca rules) you can find a link for hat trick on www.rccombat.com

For good streamers, I used that paper stuff you put up during birthday partys. Its cheap and visible in the air. Another good streamer is the brightly colored construction tape. Its thin, non sticky, and flourescent....
