First flight of 2015 and Crash!

Post by Vipertech13 »

Well I was able to get some air time and I took a tried and true plane just to get the cobb webs out. The good ole 1SBB. 1 Sheeter Bush Beater. Managed to get 3 batteries thru him and well, just watch!

I love this plane, Gerald! You really did a great job on it!!! It's cheap, flies great, has some impressive speed, seems to maneuver well, and looks good, too! But....it's amazing how big those parking lot lights can be, lol. The couple of pictures at the end of the video, were those pics of the plane already repaired?

Thanks again Everyone! Yes sir you gotta laugh it off some times and it being a $1.00 air frame makes that a bit easier. No worries about it flying again, I just got back from the school yard with it and ran 3 batteries thru him, several touch and goes, rolls, loops, inverted 1 time and 3 great landings without any carnage! I am stoked for warm weather! Too bad we are supposed 4 inches of snow tonight into tomorrow. :evil:
