Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / June 2004Recomendation for a ep glider
I am in the market for a ARTF electric glider using 7.2v to 9.6v standard buggy sized packs as I all ready have these from my buggy ,concorde ,and twinjet , something alone the lines of a Ripmax Nebula with budget around the £100 for the airframe I have 4 small servos hitec hs 81 a 30 amp esc and a receiver waiting for the right model not to bothered about out and out performance just a bit of lazy fun and possibly some aerobatic performance would not go amiss so 3 channel or 4 channel what would you buy? And yes I can fly to nearly a B cert standard Kevin > I am in the market for a ARTF electric glider using 7.2v to 9.6v standard > buggy sized packs as I all ready have these from my buggy ,concorde ,and [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > what would you buy?

It would loop, but that was about it. no ailerons. Good tough plane tho, and I enjoyed flying teh pants off it. Destroyed it trying to barrel roll it at 30' altitude... >> I am in the market for a ARTF electric glider using 7.2v to 9.6v standard >> buggy sized packs as I all ready have these from my buggy ,concorde ,and [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > and I enjoyed flying teh pants off it. Destroyed it trying to barrel > roll it at 30' altitude... Can see how that might do the trick with a 3 chan glider... mental note low level acro's look big and clever, but digging your model out with a spade can bring you down to earth faster than it came down it'self! DoH PG ;o)  SignatureALTERNATIVE SAILING TERMS - Points: Traditional units of angular measurement from the viewpoint of someone on board a vessel. They are: 'Straight ahead of you'; 'Just a little to the right of the front'; 'Right next to that thing up there'... http://www.Love2Sail.co.uk > twinjet , something alone the lines of a Ripmax Nebula with budget around I have a nebula, and its a great plane on lazy sunny afternoons, what I also have is a pair of Sirus wings. The Ripmax Sirus has aileron wings and T tail, but uses the same body as the Nebula, so its worth ordering a pair of these and using them when you want to be a bit more active. Thjat sounds like a good idea how did you order the spare wings was it online or the local hobby shop Kevin > > twinjet , something alone the lines of a Ripmax Nebula with budget around > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > ordering a pair of these and using them when you want to be a bit more > active. > That sounds like a good idea how did you order the spare wings was it > online or the local hobby shop [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > ordering a pair of these and using them when you want to be a bit more > > active. My local model shop get me a pair easy enough, same as they can get spare bodies when you pile it into the deck......... The basic 600 it comes with is a bit lame. I have brought a new 600 3:1 and 11x6 from Als, which was recently advertised in RCME (or it might have been QFI) for £50. Climb rate is soooo much better. |
