Trespasser hits Dog with plane unedited vid
Have you ever got sick of the pesky wind, and just gone anywhere you can, just to try and get some flight time, somewhere you shouldn't be? I was eager to test out my new foam camcorder helmet design and on a howling windy day, i went awol :) The Spitz being hit was actually just off shot, luckily the beloved dog was unharmed. Ohhhh she knows what sorry means, as i seem to say it to her an awful lot:) http://youtu.be/7etimH2XCSc

Cyberman caught Torque Rolling on Dog Video
Having packed in the hobby for over ten years, i was pleasantly surprised how quickly i was back to my previous form. Even though i had also changed plane type I.C. to electric and designed my own foamie due to a lack of funds. This video is shared for fun, not to be taken seriously please, any gaffs welcomed. http://youtu.be/hNhxNFUiXGg

RE: Can a RC Plane surf?
I get you dude, the problem is it takes a lot of time to film, and make a video for youtube, i do this for the benefit of credible fun loving sharing guys like you, but as at the flying field, there is always (ALWAYS) one shit head. Yes you are right, these bone heads are usually jealous coz they can't even dream of flying like you can. Sorry, but the arseh**** like Rookie3D (has a ponytail, a true sign of a real tool).

RE: 3D Tricks
I deleted the video because of idiots commenting about 'why do't you get a helicopter' and 'you have no regard for any rules'. Soooo sadly the dudes that would have had a great laugh and smile as usual have suffered from the negativity and jealousy of those shidheads. Mainly Rookie3D on youtube, a real class moron.

RE: 3D Tricks
Do you mean new tricks? I can do a torque roll circle, i.e. while torque rolling but in minute extra inputs of elevator and rudder to make the plane do a circle (as you are torque rolling). NOTE i do NOT mean a rolling harrier, the plane IS vertical, there is NO lean on the plane. A section of this is on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTtxStJJyFI&feature=relmfu For a laugh, i lost my plane once flying through an industrial door (lots of wind blowing through a factory and it unexpectedly took off again after landing. A trick i did not intend to do ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAFPv1daZ8w&feature=relmfu

Can a RC Plane surf?
I reckon, with an extended leg and some swivel attachment, it may be possible to put a small surf board on a plane and surf. Who will be the first, the race is on..... My practicing and messing about can be seen on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAFPv1daZ8w Note it must be in a crest of a wave or on top of a wave, and noooooo giro's.

RE: What seperates the diffrent typs of 3D Birds
I have designed many 3D birds and the main difference (as in flying ability/style) is the position of the wing. This has two aspects, the moment arm, i.e. a short moment arm gives a much more responsive bird. But the position of the wing is also important. A low wing gives difficulties in handling, particularly at low speed manoeuvres, the plane seems more readily to spin on it,s axis (which of course is why trainers have high wings), in 3D a high wing gives more stability between manoeuvres. For a mid wing this is a good balance, however some models are very different to others in this configuration. I think it more affects the prop wash than the low/high wingers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTtxStJJyFI

RE: 225MG
I had a crash using these while i was flying right next to my feet, it was a windy day and the servos on the wing were particularly going full tilt (100 km an hour back and forth). The plane crashed, and i knew 100% it wasn't me, i quickly inspected the plane and a servo had failed, i took it out to change the gears and it was hot, REAL hot. I changed the servo and before flying, tested the servos by moving the ailerons quickly from side to side for five minutes, well th eplan was to try for five minutes but the servo burnt out again at 4 minutes. BE WARNED, for 3D, these will kill your plane, and possibly kill SOMEONE. Note, Hitec must know about this problem becoz they rembursed me without so much as wanting witnesses,video evidence or anything!!!!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTtxStJJyFI

RE: Can servos be too fast?
For 3D flying, no no no, the faster the better. Many times i have crashed, or nearly crashed, and it was not my reactions which were slow, it was the servos. Since i upgraded my servos to faster ones, i have hardly any crashes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTtxStJJyFI

RE: How Long Will It Take To Learn ?
You are only limited by your imagination, reactions, talent, dedication and BALLS. Start getting low, oddly you will have less crashes when you are close to your self and low to the deck. Also, iffffffff you do have a crash close and low, you will KNOW what you did wrong, often when you are high or some distance away, you might think you know what you did wrong, but actually you DONT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTtxStJJyFI

RE: Proper 3D prop selection
Hi, submikestar, your opinion is wrong i,m afraid. The reason you state there SEEMS to be many engines underproped is because were 3Ders, we dont need and dont want the torque of a big prop. We need 'throtteability' for control (80% of the skill is with the throttle - thats when 3D!) and you get this from a slightly smaller dia. prop. Also preferable is a lightweight prop, wood being lightest. A heavy prop has more momentum, I.E. slows down slower, and speeds up slower, it is AMAZING the difference a prop can make.

ANYONE SOARED IN BULGARIA ?
I'm planning buying a house for holidays i Bulgaria close to some slopes, i cant find anything at all on the web. Has anyone ever been ?, therev looks to be dozens of super sites looking at maps (i know they can be misleading but youve got to start somewhere). Would anyone be interested in renting my villa if i find the slopes are good. Note the area ive chose is near Yambol.

RE: 3D Servo requirements?
Why is it when advising on which servos for 3D people forget the importance of speed, some high torque servos are VERY slow and hence are not only no good for 3D but dangerous, Rudder yes requires the most torque but also requires the MOST SPEED. If you do nothing else but buy some fast and torquey servos for rudder only you wont go far wrong (futaba 9404-?).
