Well, add the F-35 to the list of completely destroyed planks. Bad week for rc. Forgot I had high rates on and hadn't flown her real low yet. Came in for a dive and when I pulled the elevator I must have given it some roll too. She death rolled right into the ground and explodes into 20 pieces. Nothing salvageable except electronics.
Oh well. I officially give up on the F-35. Maybe I will try an F-22 or an F16 by eflite. The Delta V really screams.
Ok gonna go fly a Cessna 175SP now (second lesson).

Win some lose some. It really sucks when it's the pilot that forgets something. That reminds me; I've got to change the rates on my Tx too or I might end up with your story times Dos. ;D Keeps us posted on your flying lessons.

Yup. I've never really had a chance to fly this thing. There's been kids on the field, obstacles, etc. They've all kept me from having any more than a one or two minute test flight. I finally get the field to myself and decide to unleash her and I forgot what a beast it was. The roll rate on this plank is insane. Its very similar to INKYS F-35 in Real Flight with high rates on. This plank does not handle anything like the Habu. Different flavors of ice cream for different people I guess. I'm not saying its a bad plane, I'm just not a fan. I thought I grabbed a pic with my iphone, but for some reason it didn't save. I stripped the electronics and tossed the foam in the can at the park. Just use your imagination

Ern, you need to build a screaming foamie. I'll bet you would make it do some stuff that hasn't been thought of yet ;D Gabe. You need to think about this. All the bad luck started when you put up the new avator...
