mumof4 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Anyone else into RC??Maidened her last night..and apart from crashing into a flower bed she flys perfectly..bit of damage sustained but easily repaired. She is a HX 213 Falcon glider. Quote
Smilge Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 You could have hoovered the carpet before taking this picture of your new found hobby ........ that's the trouble with housewives these days! ...... too much time on your hands and with all these modern household appliances, well, I wish I was a housewife!! Get on with some work! :43: Quote

NikpV Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Its a glider aeroplane......... mmmmm ....... thats novel! huh ... who's writing a book???? Quote
mumof4 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Posted September 19, 2007 It can free flight as a glider which i have done..it can be used with RC which i have done..hence it is described as either a glider or a plane. Quote
NikpV Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 surely the RC can be used to control it as a glider Quote
mumof4 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Posted September 19, 2007 Yes it can..but you can also just throw it up into the air ..i did this to make sure i had built it correctly..i.e..wings were not askew, nose wasnt too heavy...etc...depending on how it does in free flight depends on if anything needed adjusting..it didnt....i did a combination of both yesterday in one flight..launched it in free flight..then used remote whilst in the air..then free flight then remote to land.
