    3DHS Fly Low In (East) July 11,12,13,14 Washington, New Jersey 6th Annual

    Rules? What rules? There are no rules! I think the only restriction is that you can't enter planes that are very likely to kill someone if you lose control. I don't think you can enter a 50cc gasser, for example. But there were plenty of 47-50" planes in the mix last year.

    3DHS Fly Low In (East) July 11,12,13,14 Washington, New Jersey 6th Annual

    OK. Sounds a bit expensive, but that's fine. The carnage is just unbelievable. Last year some guy showed me a servo that was cut in half by a prop... :veryshocked:

    3DHS Fly Low In (East) July 11,12,13,14 Washington, New Jersey 6th Annual

    I don't think this is the kind of pool you were referring to, but last year they had to institute a tie-breaker: Crashing in the kiddie pool. The EasyStar (forgot how was flying it) missed it by a foot, but our own Ahmed hit a bulls eye! Aaah, the good times! So anyway, what are you guys...

    3D HobbyShop 58" Edge 540 repair log

    I had a magnet come loose in the motor causing it to seize up. Too low, too slow and not fast enough reactions on this old pilot. Should receive the Ultracote tomorrow so I can finish it!

    3DHS Fly Low In (East) July 11,12,13,14 Washington, New Jersey 6th Annual

    I can explain the combat. It's easy: No rules. Full contact, full destruction. Try not to kill any pilots or bystanders. That's about it, I think. Last year's combat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBzGYHxa1lk I think I ran out of batteries when there were four planes left. This year I'm...

    Reminds me of some classic Car Talk advice: "That sound means that the bearings are bad. Just ignore it for a few months and they'll be worn down to the point where the noise stops". :)

    3D HobbyShop 58" Edge 540 repair log

    Added stringers. Two of them were reusable, the other two had to be made from balsa sticks. Then it was time to install the carbon rod tubes. I also noticed the cross braces on the motor box had cracked. This is most likely unrelated to the crashed, but caused by the forward location of the...
