RE: Stryker combat
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...

RE: Stryker combat
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

RE: Stryker combat
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....
