Title: 3 Things that are true and forever!
Post by: TMB on January 02, 2012, 07:03:59 PM
You have heard the old saying that there are two things that are true and forever like Taxes and Death.  Well let me add a third one to that saying.

Kimmie bought me a remote control airplane for Christmas and it had "ACT"  Anti-Crash-Technology built in so it wouldn't get damaged.    So add "Anti-Crash-Technology" as #3 to the list  :o

T2 told me to get a picture of the plane before it's first flight 'cause it won't look like it did when you first put it together.  So here it is before

Here it is after  :o

Here it is after $6.95 worth of parts  8)

Theres a club a few miles from where I live called 'Balsa Busters'. I wonder how many crashes have happened there.  ;D

So what is "anti-crash" about it? Do you get a refund? ;D ;D ;D

It may be 'anti crash' but definitely not 'anti Tommy'.  ;D

Funny.  I just ordered an electric R/C plane.  I've always wanted to do R/C but never got around to it.  Now, being a retired old fart, I have some time.

The one I ordered doesn't have ACT.  So, if you did that WITH ACT - Oh Oh  :-\

Brings back memories. From 1973 to 1977 I was stationed in Germany back when I was in the Army and I belonged to an RC club and built planes to make a little extra money. Styrofoam planes were unheard of back then. Crashed many of them and lost a few due to distance. I would highly recommend that you make sure that the top of the wing is a sharp contrast to the bottom. Makes it easier to determine which way you are turning when it gets a long way away from you.
