Ooops!!! Binned the plank...

Well it was the proper go at flying my art-tech wing dragon 4ch today, I though I would crash due to not being able to control it but no!!! Firstly I lobbed it into the wind cruised around in a circle and landed back into the wind, wow I thought that was easy! so up again flying circuits, up and down, full throttle, then no throttle and gliding back down just getting a feel basically, and it was a piece of pi$$ to be honest!!! Flying my heli around has been all that was needed to fly a plane. Anyway I even had time to think to myself hmm what next (getting slightly board lol!) so then comes the loops rolls and then an outside loop quite low to the ground and when I got to the bottom I tried some inverted and then CRUNCH!!!...... I should mention that I was flying it with my K3 lipo (11.1v 1550mah) which upon inspection after the crash has slightly sizzled the Esc[IMG]http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/testvb/images/icons/icon10.gif[/IMG] not to bothered about that but what has pi$$ed me a bit is that the lipo came out banana shaped!!!:ack2: that’s not so cheap! I've pulled it back into shape and it seems ok but I will keep a close eye on it just incase. What should I expect do you think? will it swell:confused:

All in all I am actually chuffed to hell I can fly my plank now (as long as I dont get to cocky!) And feeling that out ways the crash:)

Here are some pics, check out the motors new position[IMG]http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/testvb/images/icons/icon11.gif[/IMG] it was quite warm to remove also[IMG]http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/testvb/images/icons/icon10.gif[/IMG]

Can anyone recommend an Esc and motor upgrade?:) or maybe I should buy a new kit as there cheap as anything:cheers2:

Hi mate and thanks for the link:)

Hopefully I can move up though as the wing dragon 4ch is a doddle to fly, just a shame it falls to pieces when you push it harder [IMG]http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/testvb/images/icons/icon10.gif[/IMG] Setting my sites on something scale and/or edf :cheers2:

This plane has been lying around for 3 or 4 years but today I put 2 batts through it. 3 landings, 2 not so good because of the wind (wing tip ribbon) but the 3rd and last was perfect as the wind just died down for it, One peace:) A bit boring without ailerons though.
