figures.. Wish the motor was in stock at the time the other night, so i wouldnt have had to order from 5 differnt places hahaha. Seth or RJ do you know if MikeH plans to ever carry the vari pitch unit? that would be a great package deal maker. same with the good servos. a one stop shop for foamy goodness Just wondering did you guys test an airbrake set up on this plane?

As far as I know, I don't believe he does.

No, we did not test any airbrakes on this airplane, because its a freestyle airplane. No need for slow downlines.

you should fly in our gym once,, youll want airbrakes hahah. tho with the close goal winched up it isnt bad.

sadly that was me that slammed the goal with the micro suk i toned it down later inthe video and got a good run in. , the micro now has airbrakes and wow what a difference. the mx2 should do fine with out it tho, I may experiment later on after the glue to foam ratio goes up haha.

i am glad we are going to start getting a big gym once a month to really play tho.

As Seth said, no, I've never had airbrakes on the MX2. It has enough drag to regulate its speed pretty well really. One thing to remember is drag plates do not allow the plane to fly any slower in normal flight... they just slow it down on downlines and make it require more power to maintain airspeed.

You 2 little turd burgulars are gonna make me get another new foamy, aren't you????

Yes, drag plates only slow the downlines down. They do nothing else for the airframe, really, except for make you fly at a higher power setting for straight and level flight......

Let's hope that Terry Hahn doesn't see these!!! He'll want 6!!!! HEHEHE!!!!!

hey Chris when i get a white one I will be doing a TEam GTO paint job, what ya think. this is later on. I think orange flames.. I can see the airbrakes not being used for freestyle for sure, just had to ask. no goodies yet..

I'd guess that it will be there tomorrow if Mike got it out on Monday.

You coming up to JR Fest Mike?

sadly no. Efest might be fun if i can lock in the date. If the plane shows up tomarrow ill still be waiting for the rest of the goodies from the 4 other vendors hahah. any idea when efest is? i havent looked it up... oh just a question, how much effect or what purpus on a foamy do the spades do on the mx2?

Ah I see.

I think they moved EFest up to January this year. Should be a blast!

They don't have any effect. They're there to look cool. No actually, they help the roll rate out quite a bit, and I want to say they make it fly slightly more level, and less tail down. If you notice when you build yours, they're not parallel to the ailerons/wings. They have a slight bit of "positive incidence" if you will. I think RJ said this helps it fly more level, not sure. Maybe he'll chime in on it.
