…note that you can't drill a hole right through and insert a rod because the main rotor axel goes through that area and to the top of that black piece.

I found this out the hard way.Embarassed

Wasted about an hour on this fix only to have the main shaft no longer fit.

Lol, helicopters are better anyways. What is the difference between the two links?

One is a plane the other should be a cheap remote

No prob.

 

Like I said, I love that show, and when he said about that move, that's the first thing I thought of.

 

Didn't know until now that that whole episode's on youtube, though!

 

On a side note, putting s107 blades on a millitary-series heli works great, but with a significant loss of speed. My 102 was slow-ish before, now it's just lumbering...

 

maybe a picooz can help...

 

tune in next week to see! same Heli time, same Heli channel!

(ok, watched too many 60's batmans...)

Are rc biplanes are to fly?

I think you mean ready to fly out of the box? Some are but to expensive to buy that way-most planes I get from HobbyKing,small amount of time to put together- byplane Link 1 you need a remote and receiver-Link 2 around $24

Always if starting out get the epo foam planes as cheap and easy to repair with foam glue or ca glue,if they get smashed just pull out all servos and receiver and put into another plane- my latest is the Reaktor unbelievable good to fly aerobatics-

now look what you have done,got me talking on planes - love them,weather bad I am flying my fleet of Syma helis-life is good!!Smile

Oh, and I forgot to say, when I read the word "triplane" I thought you meant like a WWI heavy bomber, I forgot there where triplane fighters

I figure… That German was arrogant. BUT he was a true soldier, and back then EVERYONE was a gentleman of a warrior, now they aren't so much..

True he was arrogant but fiercely brave-his ego wanting at least two more kills to get his score to 50 was his mistake-part 4 below

The video's out of a playlist of the entire episode. The German's machine guns jam after an eternity in the fight, and he accidentally shows that to one of the british fliers, and they eventually bring him down after a very hard fight.

 

He battled to the bitter end, and was all shot up. I think eventually he whent unconcious due to blood loss, and crashed after taking many bullets, but it's been a while since I've watched that part.

 

Copy the url under the vid and paste it to the end, and refresh to see the rest of it.

Thats pretty cool! That German pilot was a pretty good ace! Who won? I would say the British or the German got away?

Glad'ja liked it!

 

I love that show. I don't know why they stopped making new ones. They never really canceled it, just put it on ice and only show it rarely.

 

I really like their WWII ones. Those are especially enjoyable.

Actually, it's a lot easier and practically almost exclusively done on triplanes. The lift to airspeed ratio for the large wings compaired to the slow speed of that era planes.

 

feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLC6ADE69558BC3190

 

if you want just the move, go to 6:50 to start.

 

That has to be just insanely hard rudder for it...

That's just using the ruters. I'm thinking with the motor still on. I guess it's possible, I never thought of that. The fact they did it with triplanes though is weird..

They did that a lot in WWI- esp german triplanes- they'd kill the engine for a second, and do a complete 180 within about 10 feet to turn on their enemies. They were slow enough but had enough wingspan over the three wings to just turn and shoot without even banking or anything- just turn and sit there for a second with guns a' blazing.

I would like to do the camera when I advance up to a 6 channel rc helicopter so I can do loop the loops and stuff like that, and make a video that shows the outside view of the helicopter and the helicopters view lol. Like when you watch video game videos on YouTube and they show from the pilots view and the spot view. But the way you drift is easy, you have to build up speed, and go in a circle while moving forward, then you do a sharp turn and shut off the tail motor and then you drift. Drifting can be done with any RC helicopter and probably an rc airplane (I'll explain in a bit), and it is probably the mediator between beginner coaxial helicopters and intermediate coaxial helicopters.

Ok, here is how you "drift" with an airplane, to start, it's not really drifting, I actually consider it air hopping. you nose dive, and whip your tail down so the wings go up, and the airplane looks like its jumping, and you can do that at pretty much any direction, so you can go from left to right if you wanted to. It kinda causes a wave like motion. It's pretty cool. I use flight simulator 2002, so I don't know how realistic it is, but I figured it's pretty accurate.

i personally think half the fun is feathering the controlls and getting that feeling, i saw a link about fun drifting, havent got the hang of it yet, wanna try tho, looks awesome, on the plus side, i have my new 107, so back to my childish geekness, while the wife is out, guess that DIY is gunna have to wait!
