So... a week ago I bought a Parkzone Radian from the Hobby Bench on 19th ave and Northern, and Daniel bought an upgraded Guan Li A-10 from nitroplanes.com. We were both chomping at the bit to fly them this weekend.
Self - "No don't do it, it's too windy!" Me - "Shut up self!" Self - "Maybe Daniel will talk some sense in to him". Daniel - "FLY AIRPLANES!" Self - "I'll be over here if anyone needs me...."
So my plane is totaled, There were pieces missing and I can't glue the nose back together. I am trying to locate a replacement, but no one has the fuselage in stock right now. Instead I took the receiver out of the Radian and put it into the Hawk sky, so I can fly it on 2.4ghz. That almost ended up bad as I had the elevator servo reversed on my first take off attempt today, and the plane was tail heavy because I didn't have the battery far enough forward. I would have flow again today but just after I landed the wind kicked up again...
Self - "Oooooh, Now you listen to me!" Me - "Whatever."
Daniel tried flying again today and was doing a pretty good job until his transmitter or receiver cutout and the plane dropped out of the sky like a rock. The above image was taken seconds after his A-10 crashed (trips over). So then we had to repair it. So after much epoxy and tape we got it back together. Daniel reports later in the day that there is a problem with one of the motors. We also worked on his old Cessna, which has 2 bad servos and now a broken propeller, This is what happens when a propeller walks up your arm, when it comes on unexpectedly.
