3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

[G.P.]

What's the benefit of 3 less inches? Just wondering.........

None...according to my wife.

This landed at our RC field on Sat. It's in a National Park so I heard he got a nice ticket!! They called it a landing fee~~

Wow, that's a tight landing zone. That's either one skilled or crazy pilot.

I see what you did there

I wonder what he would've done if he was both crazy and skilled

That would've been a great landing if he didn't hit that mailbox, then spin into the garbage can

Why did he land at your field?

They glide up over the mountain and the airport is on the NJ side of the mountain but he was on the PA side and got to low and couldn't get enough lift to get him back up and over the mountain. He did a great job landing.....

Yeah no question about that. He got lucky.

Also finless bob on helifreak does a great video series on how to set up a heli on just about every radio. Sry can't link to them from mobile

Hey guys I have a question. How do CP helis work on the TX? I get the whole one blade up and the other blade down thing when you change the pitch, but how do you do it on the TX? Do you flip a switch to change the pitch or is half the throttle positive pitch and the other haf negative? So if that's right center throttle would be neutral? I guess I'm asking how the pitch is changed.

The first version was 78". They didn't clip it, they added more wing to it. Not only do you have more wing area, but you also qualify as a legal "big bird" for events still carrying the IMAA requirements of true 1/4 scale or minimum 80" wingspan for a monoplane.

Like I have said many times, some other companies develop their planes totally in secret so that no one can comment on them and then at the end they are delivered down from the mountain by Moses himself.

We're not like that. You can pretty much see what we're working on, and part of the price of that is the internet commentary, the snarky comments about paint schemes, the complaining about when it'll be done, and heaven help us if someone crashes a proto, some people treat it like Watergate.

Happily, I don't give two craps about any of that. I just like to work on airplanes.

And I am very glad you do like working on airplanes, as I sure do like buying the ones you build!!! Since I got into 3DHS planes, I have only bought two non 3DHS planes....and one of them just because it is a stand-off scale "Mr. Mulligan"...and no, the other one was not a Copyking plane!!

And, I am slowly building up points on the 3DHS site so when Bigfoot is available, I intend to buy "bigfeet"...I.E. two...one for me, one for my son!!
