I was just testing out the motor and main gear on my 1/2 build hornet..
I put somthing across acros the UC,, what did I have.. a sheet of 1/8 balsa,
but 2 paint tins on either end.
Stuck the Throttle forward... The little f.cker jumps into the air, breaking
the balsa and shoots 5' into the air, I panic, cut the throttle, and the
little sh.t just drops...
I have been lucky. only damage was the ESC. I had the battery sitting on the
floor, and the im-promto lift-off ripped out the cables..
Anyway, this is just a rant... cheers for listening....

Most people who fly electric aren't.  <flame suit on>

I like this version better:
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.....
Deteriorata! Deteriorata!

Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.

Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.

Ro-tate your tires.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be turkeys.

Know what to kiss.....and when!

Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that THREE.........do.

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer main-te-nance.

Chorus

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Remember the Pueblo.

Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mu-ti-late.

Know yourself.
If you need help, call the FBI.

Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you.
That lemon on your left, for instance.

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.

Fall not in love therefore;
It will stick to your face.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth:
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time
Get in your lunch.

Hire people with hooks.

For a good time call 606-4311;
Ask for "Ken."

Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

Chorus

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive him to be---
Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.

With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate.

GIVE UP!

Reprise

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Sorry....
Just totally shocked about how much power a 300 motor and 7 little cells can
give off... This is my first experience with electric.. I may respect it a
little more now... pretend there is a 40 glow in there...

     Try a speed 480 direct drive and 6/5 prop.....no wonder
electrics can outperform nitro     < flame suit on >

      Yes.....please respect them.....electric and glow no matter
what size.

don't insult our intellegence. The title was premeditated--you had to
compose it.
It was NOT spontaneous as you suggest.

LOL. Happened to me first time. What? electric? nothing like an old .10
cu in glo.

WRONG. Even a cranked up 480 is doing .15 power, and with LIPO cells
weighs about the same.

Just cleaner and easier to start thats all.

Not to mention that electrics are just plain better.  Glow power is for
loosers.

I guess you say that because there is no oil to get into the wound when you
whack yourself with the prop.  Might be a good idea if there was a way to
sterilize them before flying.

James,  you need to get plugged in.

Good point - I forgot that there are no propellers on glow planes.  Not that
you'd need them, since the engines won't start anyway.

Hey, nitro makes a good local anesthetic, once it stops burning.  :)

No, actually, I mean loosers.  How else am I supposed to impersonate a troll
without speling that wrong?
