No worries, its a big field, get up and fly as much as you can.
Hucking is cool, but flying with FG bro's is better.

That's exactly what I'm hoping for. I can't seem to find any motherhuckers in my neck of the woods, so I'm hoping The Big Daddy Hucker will show up and let me absorb some of that magic so I can bring it home and REALLY impress my flying buddies.

As a matter of fact, I'm goin that way now. Hope I got enough fuel...

Well, I hope someone can show me the light, and keep me from doing this...




My Do is Done. Guess I'm not as good at knife edge on the Do as I am in G4 in a Yak. It ripped the antenna out of the rx, header out of the cylinder, taking half of the threaded casting with it, and put a nice crease in the manifold tube too. Worst part of it all is that the two guys I was flying with tonight, never saw a damn thing!

WOW !!!

That hurts looking at it now. Sorry to see that happen.

Hope it does not slow you down ?

That best thing that should be learned from this, is that you know what you did wrong and don't do it again.

Yes, I definitely did learn... I MUST remain several mistakes high when getting cocky. I was flying knife-edge circles around the field. Bear in mind, the Do couples badly in knife edge, and you have to stay on all 3 axes to keep it going. I was turning it back into the downwind leg, losing altitude (about 1/2 throttle, which is fine, but I was lagging on rudder), and the setting sun shadowed the plane and I lost orientation. Add some dumb thumb to the mix, and thinking I had rolled inverted I dove to gain altitude- but the plane had rolled out of knife edge to upright, and I dove right in to the ground

Totally my fault for flying low. If I'd had altitude it would have been an easy recovery.

As far as slowing me down? Hehe this is in my spare bedroom right now-



86" QQ Yak. DA 50 is on the mantle, need standoffs and exhaust. Servos, batteries, switches, etc. and I'm essentially ready to go. I really wanted to get a new 2.4 for this plane, but now that I am grounded I think I'll run it 72Mhz until I can afford the new Tx.

LOL nah man, I am definitely NOT let down at all by the death of the Do. The only real bummer is that I broke my engine- had I not done that I would be ordering a new 69" QQ tomorrow. But a new cylinder and carb manifold are just going to take that plan over the edge, so I'll concentrate on getting the 86" in the air.

Hey sleepy.. U going to have the pool again so i can dunk my tail into it.... And hopefully no one is coming the other wayyyyyy. The 580 is back and ready for another shot.. Well be there with some foam to wreckkkkkk alsoo

[smokin]

3dmeat...
get the qq done and get 'er to the HF!

[3D Meatshield]

I know... she looks too pretty to just collect dust in the bedroom. I'll be going even if I don't have anything to fly, but I sure would like to get that yak done before then.
