Invasion stripes work too! The bold and big patterns are visible further out. Plus. less masking. LOL

I wondered if anyone would comment on that. LOL

Just a new prop hub, which is out of stock! I need to see if I can find a different one.

@@JustPlaneChris Hope you find one! We need some hotliner videos to complement the helis and 3D planes!

Ah, the good old days of the podcast! :) If you already fly VControl, the Logo 200 is fun. I wouldn't pay retail price for it, but if you can find a great deal for a used one go for it. Other than the ESC / FBL and frames, it's an OMP M2 V2. All the parts fit, even the canopy. Like I said in the video, I don't think the VBar does motor tails as well as the OMP or Goosky FBL does, but the cyclic feel is epic.

@@JustPlaneChris I definitely do not have V control. It sounds like its not worth it unless you are already in the ecosystem. Thanks for the info. Look forward to some more videos in the future.

@@KrazyKoots Yeah, the Logo 200 will only work with the VControl transmitter. You'll want to look for a used M2 V2 or Evo, or the Goosky S2. Both are amazing! No comparison at all to the previous generation of micros.

It’s actually pretty easy to see, but I do prefer orange or yellow. I just need to find some filament in day glow orange and print a new canopy.

It’s just ridiculously good. It’s capable of a lot more 3D than I can do, and is really hard to kill.

Thanks! The more I fly mine, the more I like it. It has helped me get over my fear of low and slow inverted stuff, now I'm working on inverted backwards, and piro stuff.

Or some might say I just talk too much while flying. LOL

It's worth at least 3x the rest of the plane! LOL

Thanks! Yes, I give that same advice to my fellow club members. I especially like to practice on windy days, it really sharpens the skills! The RV-8 can land really short even on calm days. You'll love shooting touch and goes with it. :)

Thanks! The Aura doesn't have a "safe" mode to return you to level flight like the Spektrum radios. I encourage you to graduate out of using safe mode as soon as you can! Using it will teach you bad habits and will actually delay your progression into more advanced flying. :)

@@JustPlaneChris i dont use safe much i just like to have it in the event something happens. But thanks for the info.

Thank you! I'm running the 70/90 combo, but I also slightly sanded the delrin bits so they don't pre-load quite as much. As it turns out, I don't think I would have had to do any of that to get rid of low speed wobbles. Someone recently posted that he completely cured the wobbles by getting rid of the rubber dampers on the FBL tray! I'm about to switch mine over to VBar (currently Spirit) and I will remove those dampers at that time.

Oh yeah, headspeed holds fine! That was at my middle headspeed (1600) with a bit at the end down at 1200. I almost never fly it at the highest (1800) it's just absurd at that speed. As for feel, I haven't flown a 700 in over 8 years till this, the last being the Protos 700. I don't really remember how it felt, I was too terrified to enjoy it! LOL You can set up a Piuma on 12s, and run smaller packs (2200-3600) and have ridiculous unboggable power if that's your thing.

It really is a fun plane. It's looking pretty ratty now, having ended up in the trees after shucking the battery pack, but it still flies great. I've also got a head-tracking FPV setup for it that's a hoot.

It's one of those helis that flies better than it should, given its size. The Oxy 2 is also nice, but mine was displaced by a Goosky S2, another heli that flies better than it should! I haven't flown the S1, but I've heard they are equally good.

Yep, it’s over 10 years old!

Thanks Terry! I enjoy the challenge of flying in the wind and trying to keep it smooth. :)

Thanks Rod! Hope you're well, long time no see.

Kevin, this is IL-2 Sturmovik. I bought the base "Battle of Stalingrad" and then added "Battle of Bodenplatte" to get additional planes. It's amazing! VERY challenging flight dynamics, but you can dumb it down. For example, I use "simplified engine controls" so I don't have to manually control prop pitch, radiator flaps, mixture, superchargers... yes, it's got that level of detail! If you just want to have fun in a more arcade-style (with VR goggles and hand controllers) the Warplanes series for Oculus Quest is a blast. IL-2 really needs a HOTAS setup to work well. It's complicated, but fun.

Thanks! It was ugly, but it worked.

Thanks! Yes, doing well. :)

Thank you! It's about 1150 at my lowest headspeed. Freakishly quiet, but still very capable.

Thanks! It is absurdly light for a 700, so it makes collective management easier than you'd think.

Thank you sir! I have a long way to go to reach even part of your skill level, but I'm having fun and I guess that's the most important thing. :)

Yep, flat plate wing, square trailing edges. It's certainly not streamlined! It's meant to be a simple smashable model with low emotional investment. I have hotliners to fly when I want low drag. ;)

I launch that way as well once it's trimmed. This being the first flight I decided to toss it the normal way.

I remember those Funjets! Most annoying prop sound ever. LOL
