RC Combat & Crashes

Here is a video of our attempt at some RC Combat with streamers. These planes are combat models from Budget RC at http://www.budget-rc.com.

We were kind of disappointed with the performance of these models. They were underpowered, really sluggish around the pitch axis and touchy around the roll. For all the reinforcement they had the models seemed quite fragile. We were unable to successfully cut anyone's streamer!

That being said, we had a real blast with these models. As you can see there were a lot of laughs that came along with the crashes and near misses.

Cool! I think the streamers are too long though. Get closer, closer, then open up with the big guns!

@vonJaerschky Too long?!? We couldn't even hit each other with them that long. We need 100' streamers to make it easier.

Nice job on the video, looks like a nice venue for indoor.

@fishjunky30 Thanks!

@briguy99 Hey, not my fault you guys are lousy pilots. What the heck do you do for a living, anyway? Maybe take a walk across the ramp and go ask the 409 guys for advice. They'd like that.
