RE: Extreme Flight Vanquish 2m Build Thread

Rick, I think some of the canopys are a bit thin, mine was really flexible till I put medium CA on the inside where the crack ran. Stiffened it up quite a bit. Tried the canopy from #1 and it fit OK...

RE: Extreme Flight Vanquish 2m Build Thread

I flew my #2 Vanquish the 1st of Dec, got in four flights, it flies way better than the #1 did, probably because I took a month to build it and 2 days to put #1 together. Got a new Castle 80 V2 in...

RE: Extreme Flight Vanquish 2m Build Thread

Hey Steve, I've got one of those 200 HIMAX's in the 12 lb. Eclipse, and I beat you one round with it, so there. I don't think they work too good in Masters though.

RE: Composite ARF Impact

Hi Bryan, I think I'll have it finished and flying by St Louis. If I do it will be there, although I'll probably be flying an Eclipse. Missed you at the KCRC.
