Around Rocket City (Huntsville Alabama) we sometimes used to fly full-contact combat that included going after not only the other planes, but the other pilots as well. This proposal would take that to an entirely new low level!

Well you do not get the pilots, if a wax-bullet got some one's Eye oh man.... :(
But if you have a cam on you plane you do not have to see your plane to combat :D

1. you do not have see your plane to combat

2. you can make wax-bullet's

3. it wood be SOOOO cool if you get 50 planes with v-cams and gun's on the planes in combat on video :cool:

and the bullet can go in one side of a foam plane and out the other side :D you can shoot down planes hehehe.... it wood be so cool...

Against AMA rules, and against the LAW. Please don' give RC a bad name . You wouldn't want to be listed in the next edition of the Darwin awards.

Maybe there is something we can shoot that would be safe, but still satisfy our desire to shoot something.

How about nerf-type missiles? They would not take down an opponent as is. But if a ribbon were attached to the nerf missile, it would both provide something looking like smoke trail and also tangle in an opponents prop to bring it down. Fir the ribbon I imagine using the curling ribbon used to wrap gifts.

However, I think a single ribbon trailing a nerf missile would be extraordinarily difficult to get in the right position to tangle in an opponent's prop. Perhaps multiple ribbons can be used to widen its coverage area? I imagine a net type of shape would be ideal, but then it is getting more complicated and less like shooting a missile.

Perhaps an alternative is to modify the airplane wings so that they can somehow catch the ribbon. I am picturing something like a length of wire about 1" long total protruding from the wing tip. Then at the end of the ribbon, a few loops are tied to provide something for the wire to catch.

I am currently building a combat plane with Nuke bombs. It will destroy all enemy pilots for 50 miles LOL

Just kidding. The bullets is a real bad idea. Only a matter of time before you get a person with them.. like in the eye or something.

Althoght I have thought of hooks or something that can rip at the other plane when contact is made.
