With crashes like this I honestly think balsa repair is easier than semi costly complete foam replacements. That's a $15 balsa and covering crash assuming the firewall is ok. Landing gear should be designed to break away cleanly, not rip a large chunk out of the fuselage.

OK, maybe a nit, but Milli amp HOUR. A milli amp is a unit of current. mAh is a unit of capacity. Neat plane though, I would think for a novice...take it up to altitude and practice several mistakes high, and be able to regain control easily by turning it back on. Would have liked a feature like that 50 years ago, but hey, I was happy just to have proportional multiple channel systems then. Single channel at a time reeds, and pulsed rudder systems not long before that. Good point about glider tows. Did that once with a heli, just for fun. It worked, but had no interest in trying it a second time, that glider was being taken up tail first, and it was all over the place! OUCH, crap, at the end. Good point about picking up all the pieces, but if you are missing one, it's not hard to cut out the area, obtain some of the same type/density foam, and cut a piece to fit into your cut out volume (just the glued sides), keep the others slightly oversize to the final shape, glue it in, and reshape it after cure initially with a knife, and finally with sandpaper. It sometimes helps to slightly undercut the glue joints with a knife first as you sand down to the final shape, but try not to get them below the final contour.

If you want to test a great plane, test the Multiplex FunCub XL. There are NO gyro's inside. It's Big, 1.8m span with 6 cell LiPo. Very powerful and can be used for teaching others to fly RC airplanes. One of our members has this airplane and I'm teaching him to fly with it. No expo (I hate expo, you don't have a nice linear response) just set the rates to 60% and you can teach everyone. In wind gust over 5 Beaufort it glides in like a nice heavy big RC airplane.
@leewinick7 жыл бұрын
At the field to set up, the CZ Cub has 6 more cottar pins and 2 more screws (4 driver screws vs 2 thumbscrews). I can set up the CZ Cub in 10-15 min, and so I surmise the CZ Cessna saves about 5 - 8 min. Doesn't sound like a big difference but I HATE setup time at the field (and I HATE lining up those cottar pins), and for this reason alone would consider this C150. I would love to hear more comparisons. The reports are that Cub is better at 3D (which I don't do), and with 6" wheels (I have the DuBros) and broader landing wheel triangle would have to have an easier time in thicker grass, vs C150, which would have to be more prone to nose over at some grass length. Any comments on my comments appreciated.

What a beautiful aircraft! The photography is incredible! Such a bummer they collided and couldn't recover. Wonder if the AS3X on the top plane actually caused the top plane to stay tangled as AS3X was trying to level the aircraft that had its nose on the bottom aircraft - possibly causing top plane to push into bottom plane trying to level aircraft vs just floating apart. You guys are great sports to take the loss of two such beautiful birds so lightly. (I probably would have cried if they were my planes LOL)

It's crazy how often midair crashes happen. The chances of it happening is still very slim even being in the same airspace. Im referring to when not flying in formation. Flying in formation obviously has a greater chance of making contact than 2 random planes not in formation. Ive seen one first hand but it still blows my mind that it happens. Both of those planes look fine. The ESC on the one will be the biggest repair, but the other might have had a chance of landing if a little higher. Although i think the airleron on that one was the one that was pulled away from the wing making it very difficult.

That is a Mississippi Kite! They are a specialist falcon in multiple element air combat maneuvering. They fly from South America in mating pairs to nest in the south and midwest US States. They can kill and eat continuously on the wing as a team for 10,000+ miles! They are aerial masters of maneuvering, timing and tactics. Kites will tolerate some species of birds, but anything else (model airplanes included) near their summer breeding nest. I can tell you one will dive and attack while the other one is climbing to do the same. They will grab the nose of your plane with talons and fold their wings and ride you straight into the dirt.
