Battle Axe Says NO to New Flying Wing

[@jhbuxton4]

Hahaha. Great back and forth with the wifey! She seems very patient. You 2 sound perfect together. Hope you guys and girls have a great day!

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Howdy Jamie, thank you fella :) Matt

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Howdy Jamie, thanks! Yea, she is certainly "patient" :) Matt

[@craigrpennyify]

Great video, good team work if the better half can help build your wings. Tell her to keep up the good work...

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Howdy Craig, I do! She's made a fantastic job of the combat & Weisel XP flying wings, oh and the Zackspeed as well. Matt

[@kammelryder]

Your wife is a bloody legend mate! the accent alone makes me a little homesick . Black eye hahahaha.

[@RagTheNutsOff]

I need to find the domestic abuse hotline, she won't let me have another flying wing :P Matt

[@knight907]

"When have you ever asked for permission?" LOL! Sounds about right. My wife just isn't interested in my RC stuff. She will listen to me yammer on about it, and even ask the odd polite question sometimes, but otherwise she's as excited about RC as I am about crochet. I keep myself on a tight budget though, and we don't have the space for a ton of stuff, so I currently only have a Tiny Whoop, my 120 racing quad, and 3 FliteTest planes I built out of $2 foam board; a Versa Wing I'm trying to sell for the cost of the servos, motor, and ESC, an Arrow I tried to fly as my first plane and crashed repeatedly, and a Tiny Trainer I'm learning on now that uses the electronics out of the Arrow. Someday I'll chuck the remains of the Arrow, but I can't bring myself to do it yet. So I keep it under control and she doesn't complain, and everyone's happy. =)

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Howdy Daniel, yea I have one or two models like that, with 3 going shortly. I'll get away with 2 (or 4) new ones! :) I'm off to update my crochet channel. NOT! Matt

Hi Matt! Yesterday I've ordered Night Walrus which was $150 with shipping and it is more then I've spent on single RC device ever (I cannot afford fatsharks... yet). It was from my own "pocket" money, which I still have (only being married for 1.5 weeks:) but I told about it my wife Yesterday night AFTER we ordered iPhone 6 for her on ebay:) so she wasn't mad at me at all:)

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Good man! You've learn the art of timing. Ssssssh don't tell mine I've got 2 new wings coming shortly :P Matt

[@stejer211]

Imagine having to beg for access to your own money...

[@flu-tube]

:-D very good, maybe wait and see if a kit version follow later, think i will stick in a pre order when it's up i like the look of the form factor; smaller and more portable than my FX61 and enclosed electronics rather than me Sumo, i have the X1 and it's lonely so it needs a brother. Neil

[@RagTheNutsOff]

LMFAO Neil, thats my excuse :P

[@DaveFurness]

Love this xD

[@robertandujo969]

Hey Matt Just received this the other day. Banggood says CG is 150 mm from aircraft nose. there is no way it can be that. Any suggestions??

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Howdy Robert, it could be that. Pop the rough measurements into this calculator fwcg.3dzone.dk/ and see how it compares. Only needs to be rough measurements to see if they're right or not. If in doubt, make it nose heavy! Matt

[@robertandujo969]

Thanks Matt I used the CG calculator and it came out not from the nose of aircraft but from the leading wing of aircraft. Thanks bunches keep up the videos enjoy immensely. Catch ya later Bro!!

[@heady2008]

Just to let you know that I've fired off a message to BG with a link to this video and the Rainbow build video. I've suggested that they send you a review model and you'll then do a build log and flight report like you did for the Rainbow. Thought it was worth a shot!

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Howdy Andy, LOL! Thank you of course. I had written it off because of the two other models I have arriving shortly. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic looking model, just need to pull priority on what's being built :) Matt

[@heady2008]

But you wouldn't say "no" to a freebie!

[@RagTheNutsOff]

heady2008 Absolutely not (unless it was known to be a POS)

[@PaRCQuadRacers]

Awwww ..... Matt, she has you by the short hairs mate...! Say PLEASE...With sugar on it...];-)...! ( I know this is an old video, I just got around to watching it.) See you in the air .! Wayne

[@Tsnafu]

Hey Matt, I've been looking at a TwinStar to feed my Multiplex addiction - sell it to me and give Mrs O the money for helping you out with all your wings

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Howdy Mr T, I've offered it to Dave as it makes a great FPV platform, if he's not up for it, I'll pop the details in the Facebook group, so you can have a closer look. It's never been flown! Matt

[@Tsnafu]

and no - mine says "buy whatever you want but you've got to make room for it", cos she's always got her eye on more £80 per jumper knitting wool

[@Tsnafu]

Fair enough, but it's a damn shame to have planes you've never flown - what happened? did you lose interest in regular 4 channel planes between building it and maidening it?

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Basically yes. I got that one around the time I had the 1st Teksumo arrive. Never looked back! Matt

[@JamesHurd]

tissue ha ha pro tip!!

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Hola James, yea H suggested melting the tip of the antenna tube I was trying to stuff into a slope soaring model, it worked really well! Matt

[@jkflorida]

I think hookers and cocaine is definitely the better choice! Much more illegal but still! lol

[@RagTheNutsOff]

Indeed!
