Nice plane..

Have you fly it?
 

[mnentwig]

[Maikko]

Nice,

can I try it at syysleiri when I am not sober anymore.

Give a heliguy some anwers about this mystical creature,
- How much it costs
- How far you can fly with it
- How fast does it fly
- What is the meaning of life and who killed JFK

Menen nukkumaan.

Hope servos are properly fixed. My Rainbow EPP's second aileron servo was rip off by gusty weather during first test light, caused actually three crashes at the same day because I was too lazy to check the reason for that first crash. Luckily CA is 30 cents per bottle here.

>> Hope servos are properly fixed.
So do I  Thanks, will check.

>> - How fast does it fly
too fast...

>> - How far you can fly with it
up to the point where I crash it

>> - How much it costs
being the work of the devil, probably around € 150 (incl glue) and your soul.

>> it must be build very good... competition was in june..
yes it took me three months before I decided to throw away the manual

>> eerikkilä indoor is in less than a month, will we see you there?
maybe. If it's still alive.

>> can I try it at syysleiri when I am not sober anymore.
only if it's windy enough

well I managed some prop hanging in a calm corner in the garden. It flies more or less like in Phoenix.
But when I tried to take off from level ground, it did a crazy spiral and went head-first into the ground. Now the nose will need some structural reinforcement 
Well nothing bad but I don't understand this - otherwise it flies in a straight line, doesn't roll at all.
Anyway, back to helis for now.

Heh, kohta se on korjailtu ja liimailtu niin että painaa 600nitron verran...

tried to take off from level ground

I wouldn't dare to try that. Just thinking if those landing gears are for landing only, or just decoration if there is no flat surface nearby. I always throw it by myself, with less than a half throttle.

[mnentwig]

yes and I understand now what happened. One wheel came off, the wheel support hit the road and pulled it to the side.
it's easy to start it out of the hand into prop hanging. Catching it, haven't had a chance to try...

Don't know what kind of ways should be used for fixing some broken areas, but found that small and thin pieces of toilet paper and CA makes quite good and invisible fixes. It's dirt cheap, but sometimes not available when you really need it.

Just came home after introducing apartments to South American colleague who is thinking to move here and has 300 square meter house back home. Checked one 230 square meter xxxx euros per month apartment (with some RC-stuff) and other colleague's less than 10 square meters and less than xx euros per month room. There are always two sides of the coin. Just don't know which one to choose. Depends from the interests (ie. how many toys need to store and maintain or if there is more clever plans to save and use that money). Also needs to think the climate, and when moving, which time to move so can live some seasons (like spring and summer) twice a year.

[mnentwig]

thanks - paper & CA is a great idea. I'll try that.
