well it's been a pretty eventfull 2012, with the flying season coming to an end!

there have been new additions ta the fleet, and a resurection of and oldie but a goodie( GP 40 size ultimate bipe) with the addition of a 27% hanger 9 EXTRA 260 with a CRG 50cc engine,TME smoke pump! taking up alotta of my time!

still building on the 1/4 scale PITTS getting closer ta being ready ta cover!http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...highlight=pitt

right now I am also building a SIG MUSTANG 450 wich is an old F1 kit that I am putting a OS fs 48 surpass in, should be a great sport flyer!

I also have added a E-FLITE EXTRA 260 480, with a OS 20fs in it! been waiting 25 yrs ta find the perfict plane for that engine, "think I have now"

crashed my bandit! been flying my mCPx as much as possible, the 250 when weather permits,just got a new EXI450 pro belt! and a venom 50mm A4 skyhawk!

the EXI250 got some upgrades,she now sports a micro heli aluminum bottom plate,with some trex white skidz, and a few full house heli parts for repairs!http://static.rcgroups.net/forums/at...g?d=1304804516

got a EXI450 pro for my B-day havn't got ta maiden it yet! its all stock with hobbypatz electrics!http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attac...mentid=4020245

its been a pretty good year for me, as far as it goes for rc!

well the nexus is awaiting a main gear!

the EXI 250 is a great lil heli!(better then a big mac, I'm loving it!)

realflight sim! Hr's- many, and still crashing, it's the only real indoor heli I can think of! so sense even if theres no white stuff yet, the weather out side,ta say the least is frightfull!

as for the bandit! havn't found floats that fit a 55mm df,in fact still looking for a set of floats for my 250!

MERRY X-MASS ALL!

and may 2011 be a great RC year! for all!

10 yrs,a buttloada reading,some sim time,and some help from the forums, it happened 2day!

I was able ta get my nexus airborn, and in a stable hover,with some side ins, and about 10 r so landings!

it was basicaly my first real heli flight! very kewl!

ok yesterday was a red-letter day 4 me!

I took my bandit ta my local flying field, in hopes there was not 2 many peeps, and that there would b atleast an instructer there,as having been a former member I know that if your not a member of the club,are hav your ama paid up! you must hav an instructer at your side.

ok that being said and done,there was an instructer there that had his own edf's, and was more then happy ta check out my lil bandit, he liked it,and after he test flew it on a 1/2 charged batt. and after a recharge,I tossed it inta the air agin 4 him then he gave me the controls(my first time in over 6 yrs) and I flew that thing in circles around the feild,OMG, what a blast(I'm a jet jocky now)

had a lil misshap with a safety barrier,on landing, but no big deal she'll fly with the next weather break!

ok so I hav this ol venom niteranger, I tried ta fly bout 6 yrs ago,and never did more then just hopping on it,and batt. would only last bout 3 min.s and it was recharge time.never had enough time ta get usta the stick's.

ok make a short story long I bought a real flite sim. and been practicing on the heli's,so with some confidence I went dwn ta LHS and bought a 910ma 3s 15c lipo,and made a jumper from deans ta the plug on my VNR and took it ta the local gym which has an electric fly-in twice a mnth,(my first time) and after hoping around again,I took a lil break watched a few fly and tried again,I was able ta keep it in (what I consider a controlled hover)for what seemed like 4ever,but was prob close ta just over a min.very kewl!

so 2 day sense its very fall outside here in the great north wet,I'm taking the time ta fix up the bandit,and more hovering in between wind and rainy periods.

so for now I MEAN IT! get out n fly something,ANYTHING!

ok I know it's been awhile, but I hav been doing a lil work on the bandit! got the fan/motor/esc installed other day, before I glued the top on I ran the fan up ta make shure had it wired rt! and it tried ta take off accross the floor.
got the flite surfaces painted, and em watching poly dry on fus. as I type. the way I hav the aileron servo's installed, hadta install them b4 I buttened up the fus.,sry didnt get any pic's, was moving along too fast.

Ohya hint! thin coats dry faster and smoother, then thick one's.

ok thats pretty much it 4 now!

tftd:its ok ta fail! as long as u keep trying!

P.s. 40 cent foam brushes from wallyworld work exc. 4 poly!

here are the two projects I hav under construction!
the bandit is the first 1 I started,from jetset44 plans. its 80% done. waiting for finnal fan installation, then finnish glassing,paint and reinstall of electronic's, gonna hav flaperons and ele. only on the bandit, for simplicity only!hobbycity 55mm fan,1800 ma 3s1p 20c lippy batt.turnegy 30 amp esc.
the mig 29 lookin one! is a jetset44 su-37 super flanker! bashed inta a mig 29! shortened up the nacells,and sized ta fit a 55mm no lip fan, redesinged vert. fins, and reshaped elevators.
I'm utalizing the fake nacell tops, by cutting the deck underneath ta fit fan,which allowed me ta trim,another 5mm from bottom of nacells.gonna b using foam cups ta make exsuast tips from. and angle sides of nacells instead of dblrs ta increase intake area.ta help round off the bottoms.
well b using 3/16th balsa for ailerons and rudders, and ta beaf up elevators!
I plan on using 5 9grm servo's on the mig, 1 each aileron,1 each taileron, and 1 for the rudders. I'll use the elerons as elevators when at high speed and then mix with ailerons when doing slow high alfa stuff.might use flap option,as I hav enough channels on radio(futaba9c),just need ta get a reciever with enough channels.
thats what I'm upta! hav a great day and build something! flying season almost here!
