Nice bikes, dudes! Like Jason said, be careful on those things.

And absolutely make some Outlaw holsters.

Hey Larry, does that thing have a turbine!? Any openings at the state?

CSpaced · 07-09-2008, 09:06 AM

Nice bikes guys, have you figured out how to hook up your trailers yet?

As I looked back at the pictures from last year's Circus trip to Morehead City, I recalled all the fun we had flying foamies in the parking lots. And then I realized that I didn't have one flying for the trip this weekend. So I got busy in my shop last night and finished a "Really Wildcat" that I had been neglecting. This is a design that I did a year or two ago and Larry, Dustin, and I have flown various versions of it since.

Pic 1 - The unusual color scheme is actually from a full-scale training squadron. I wanted to avoid the classical "all blue" versions since I didn't want that much paint on it. And this was oddly colorful and sorta suited a foamy! I just swapped the grey and white colors on my model to save more paint.

Pics 2-3 - Here's my version. It weighs about 10 1/2 oz without the battery and 13.4 oz. with a Thunder Power 1320 3-cell. I'm using a Hacker A20-22L motor, Phoenix 25 speed control, Spekturm AR6100 RX, and 4 E-flite S75 servos.

The paint is water-based airbrush colors that came from "Michaels".

Everyone needs to get their foamies ready to join the "air battle" this weekend!

HAHAHHAH,, Nah I don't care for a cycle right now,, when I was going to east carolina university me and my dad went and looked at a Suzuki Gsxr 1000 rice rocket,, but I decided againist it especially in the city,, I have drove dirtbikes, motorcyles etc,, but I wouldn't be worried about my driving I would be worried about some old women pulling out in front of me,, not to say that I wouldn't skin my hiney cutting up riding wheelies or something, but I was more worried about other drivers,,

We made part cutting templates for my "Really Wildcat" and "Urge" foamy designs and they are at Larry's shop. You're certainly welcome to borrow them to cut one for yourself!
