Re: 3Dhobbyshop: TRUSTING the MAN!

OK so I've been flying my Velox all summer and I love it.
It has about 200 flights on it and its still going strong.

This past weekend, I drove 1.5 hours to go fly my 40% Carden Edge with a pile of guys in PA.
I also took my Velox.
I got to the field, and while setting up my plane noticed that my throttle servo wasn't moving. It had died. And it's an Odd size so my replacement would not fit.
SO.. no 40%... UG.

I thought, well, I have my Velox, all is not wasted...
I flew that little sucker probably 14 times that day, and it was AWESOME. The day ended up being fun as hell. I had that little sucker doing on the deck KE all the way down the field, slips, crazy tumbles full throttle snapping tunbles... just WAY too much fun.
So.. basically the Velox saved my day...

Ben... you make some good planes!
