    There be some dark days here at the Bush house. Dark Dark Days. Finally got my new Vyper airframe delivered yesterday evening only to find out it is DOA. Looked like someone may have stepped on it or something. To say that I was pi#$% off last night would be an understatement. Maybe the airplane...

    Battery Tray's

    That's a pretty clever setup Gene375. How much do you think that weighs? One of the things I know I will have to consider is weight and CG, more so on the smaller lighter planes. The larger planes, I don't think it will be as critical. I could be wrong about that though, you more experienced...

    Battery Tray's

    Didn't think of that way. I was being selfish, just thinking of building one for myself and if a few peeps like it show them how to make there own. But I get what your saying. :)

    Battery Tray's

    Humm I'd like to see what he did so I could compare with what I have in mind. Guess I better hit Google up and see what I find. Any reason you care to share why you didn't follow through with your idea?

    Battery Tray's

    How's it going guy's, So Im curious, does anyone make a battery tray for airplanes? If so where can I get one. Or is this something you have to custom make yourself? I have an idea for a tray that would slide forward and backwards so you can change your cg as you like, just don't have the means...

    Let me ask you guys this. Do you think I picked a good platform to learn larger planes on, or should I of picked a different plane? I mean I can still do that. Just put the Vyper up and build another plane.

    Cold weather flying

    Ouchy.. Okay so you had a senior moment and forgot to plug the ailerons in. Doah! :) Thats a mechanical not pilot error. Should probably have a chat with your mechanic.

    Thanks guys. Gyro is right, aileron was set to high and I and couldn't react fast enough to compensate. Especially that low. Had the plane been just a little higher I might of made it... almost did... and I would of learned my lesson without the crash. And yes, Im just going to get a new...

That little voice in my head was trying to...
