Do you have any pics of the Pitts in flight??? Vids?

[graves]

Unfortunately, no. I haven't been able to bribe anybody to come out and take pics. I'll try tomorrow as the weather should be good.

[admiralev]

wow that pitts is pretty big. nice shot of the pawnee

[graves]

sorry no pics today. Having some issues with my spektrum receivers which I need to diagnose (fails range test, glitching, losing signal)

[flyinghigh]

What RX are you using graves?

[graves]

I have 3 AR6100's and 2 AR6200's.

All work fine except for one of the 6200's. It failed the range test at only 15 paces. I took it back, got another one, and the new receiver does the exact same thing. I've tried my other 6200 with the exact same set-up and it works fine. So do the 6100's. The lhs won't get another in until next week which is a bummer since I'm moving away for school

[graves]

I still haven't put pics up of the Pitts, shame on me, I apologize - its a very busy semester at school. Anywho, I've added 2 more aircraft to the hanger. I apologize for the cell-phone quality pics:


E-Flite Taylorcaft



ST Models Cessna 182 from Hobbycity.com (Gift from my wonderful girlfriend)




The cessna has some unique features:

Shock absorbing front strut



Landing Lights


and navigation/strobe lights


Oh! and Fowler Flaps

have you flown the 182 yet? i seen it the other day and was wondering about it. i have a glass 182 that im building but this looked nice also. hows the foam?

[graves]

Man oh man! This Cessna is a GREAT flyer! Has no bad habits at all and flies very very similar to a cub with ailerons. It took me all of 5 minutes to get accustomed to the aircraft and in no time I was flying right on the deck, no more than 1 foot off the ground the whole time. This plane really grooves.

The foam seems similar to what the cub is made out of, but just a little harder. This would be a great plane to train on, but with no where to buy spare parts, it would be a bad move. What a shame though, it's a fantastic flier and such a steal for only $100. You get the plane, brushless motor, speed control, 4 servos, steerable nosewheel, shock absorbing nosewheel, real metal struts, fowler flaps, and a light kit for only $100. All you need is a receiver, battery, and radio to fly it.

humm might have to pick one up. i know im not going to be able to fly my big cessna 182 before winter, so this might have to do. it looks just like my cmpro 182 just smaller, made of foam and not red lol

[graves]

I say go for it. You won't be disappointed, and if it does goes wrecked beyond the point of repair, you'll still have a light kit, motor+esc, and 4 servos to put in another plane. Be warned that it is a pink stripe on the side (others say its orange, I say they're blind...or maybe I am...)

There's a thread of the plane on rcgroups.com let me find it

here it is

Update: Seems as though hobbycity increased the price by $100

[graves]

Added one more. It's not for me, but for my father when Christmas rolls around. I took it out the box to make sure everything was in perfect working order ;D. I'm very tempted to fly it, but I'm holding off haha. It's a lot bigger than I thought it was

Biggest of the three foamies. Have to pack it up hide it under the bed now

[admiralev]

looks like a nice plane graves. its nice that someone finally put out a foamie trainer with ailerons. hope your dad likes it!

And another one:

Trojan




Keep an eye on this one - retracts and flaps are in the making

And this is how they're stored for the time being




Hope everyone enjoys the pics
