Cracking present :)

That is a very nice looking plane! It's exactly the kind of thing I'd like to have IF I had a way of getting it to the field without destroying it. They're such fragile things compared to helis.

Yeah, its difficult enough getting them to the field in the car in one piece....

This one only just fits in the car with the seats down, the prop spinner is right up against the front seats to get the tail in safely.

I have a roof box for wings, which works well.... when im having a proper plank day (none this year ) I can get 4 fuselages in the boot and then the wings in the roof box.... leads to a happy days flying, especially when I bring the Tiger Moth

One thing I have noticed, is that my plank flying is sooooo much better now im a heli flyer too.

One massive advantage we have over plank only flyers is that we can use both sticks at the same time

Both sticks? about half the plank "flyers" at my local club don't even move one stick before they moan. Lol

I totally agree though, I started flying planks before helis, and the Heli flying has improved my fixed wing flying I think. Well except when 'that' tree jumped the other week!

Nice Present Jimmy enjoy!

Jumping trees are always problematic. There was one that used to do that all the time at my old club.... the one at beaulieu hasnt dont it yet.....

I'll take the AR7000 out of my 450, and put one of my orange POS in there

I dont think I need more than 7 channels, throttle, rudder, aileron x2, elevator, gear, and im only at 6

use a y cable and you can get your ailerons down to 1 channel

p.s thats a sweet plank m8 i got a few myself

Nooooooo, bad idea that on a pattern ship, no differential in your up and down throws if you need them to trim it out!

[aparkin]

that is the pain but you can do it Manuel buy adjusting the rod length between servo arms and the horns depending on what you have used

and it save a lot of messing around with the tx setting up mixes just pug in and fly but having said that i only fly foam's this 1 RC-FACTORY FLASH EPP KIT D, Robotbirds never flown a (n) plane always been (e)

anyway hope you have a blast with it and if you want some1 to join you give me a shout if not get a vid would love to see it go

[jimmyhorns]

Yeah, will definitely post some more pics and vids once I get it sorted
