Night Flyying the PopWing using the NightFlyyer-A-Pult launcher mod.

*Note, the Popwing needs to be hand launched. You can seriously hurt yourself with the pusher prop on launch (see my Popwing Build video), so I modified my Catapult to be able to launch the Popwing safely. I tried a dolly first, but in the end, all I had to do was mount a hook on the plane, and wait till it cleared the launcher before hitting the throttle. That works great. The kit costs $99 and is available from http://www.comonsencerc.com
Their receiver works flawlessly and servos are acceptable but a bit soft at high g's.
Search NightFlyyer-A-pult to see my catapult building videos and make sure to see the Popwing Build Video. http://youtu.be/j2KR3TcqpT4

Coming back at midnight because you just HAD to do what you intended to no matter what time. I am also like that when I build my own stuff. I will go all night until it feels right to stop, or when I'm done. Now that's the kind of dedication and passion I have about R.C., and I live to see others with it. This makes me feel good knowing I'm not alone, that you and others have had the same obsession for many years, and I feel like you really paved the way for R.C.ers like me.

Thank You.

[NightFlyyer]

Yes, your right. It was also a rare treat to have no wind, a full moon, and a nice temperature all at once. Sometimes that never happens for years. So, even at midnight, I just had to do it. I am glad your projects are obsessed driven too. That's how we get things done. More people should probably have that attitude too, so we can get the country back on top again. Thanks for the kind words, and keep up the good work and happy flying.

[NightFlyyer]

Not really too scary, as they are a quiet bunch and never complain!.

[ghosttjr2]

where did you get all that fine music with all your video's Mr Herbert, is it home-made?

[NightFlyyer]

Yes, I use my YR quitar, my Q-Chord, and Garage Band software to make midis.
