    I love to fly other people?s RC planes.

    Not that I care much for the whole experience in general but the looks of worry on their faces the entire time I have the controller is priceless.

    So, my wife watches a lot of those crime type shows and it seems like sometimes the victims help the police draw a sketch of the perpetrator. When they finally apprehend the guy he does bear an uncanny resemblance to the sketch.

    If I helped the police draw a picture they?d have to be in the lookout for Mr. Potato Head I guess because I wouldn?t begin to know how to describe someone?s facial features so that somebody could actually draw a decent likeness.

    I hear ya. If they had some kind of software so I could put together what I remember seeing, that sounds doable. Me trying to explain in words what I saw? Yeah, this won't end well and I'd probably make some sketch artist cry in the process.

    Well that was sort of fun. The mini super cub hit the air and the dirt a few times. Old batteries still worked which surprised me. Lost the landing gear on crash 2. Then the receiver or transmitter acted up and I kept loosing control for a second or two. I remember that this plane was a warranty replacement to the original that did the same thing.
    Well time to gut the plane and convert it to real rc parts.
    Mazin I will be in touch

    On the way back I went and got another umx Radian. Once the battery charges I will go fly that again.

    Sounds like somebody has 'control issues'.

    Glad you got some air!!!!
    Its been a few years for the planes me (life). I will be doing some flying this summer other than quads.

    Dude the proprietary tx rx servos are the first to go on any RTF, they make them last for a.frw flights then they go to shit and hope youll keep buying the same old crap proprietary components.

    Shit id let you fly a delta np. My next one is going FPV for that "cockpit" feel. The bi plane.....not so much. 140 hrs on the build and about close to $800 on the all in cost youd see me just holding breath the entire time.
    There is always a buddy box system (2 controllers) that we used to use when training new pilots out at the club (when i was in clubs).

    Spent about thirty mins flying the $3 kite I bought at Wal-Mart yesterday. Was fun, made the dog mad when I tied it to the fence and left it.

    She really got upset when breeze died and kite landed in yard. She danced around it barking until the wind picked it back up for couple seconds and slammed.it back down. She ran up on deck stayed.

    Best event since late March. Haircut at Palace Barber shop in Brighton. Old school shop with great atmosphere. Jim is great guy and skilled barber.

    Asked me twice before cutting the pony tail off. Said he didn't want my wife calling him when I got home. "You might sit in the chair and pay the bill but she still drives the train" he said.

    I really missed hot lather and straight edge shave.
