    Electric Planes, Heli's and EDFs: Discussion, pics and video Thread

    Figured I start a thread for those who also fly. The community here is much better then on other forums, so figured why not start a thread here for anything that flies (electrics). Share or if anyone has questions and are thinking about getting into the air side rc post here as well. Hopefully this thread kinda catches on...

    Here's a video from yesterday.
    Little Parkzone Habu action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG0u1...1&feature=plcp

    * Shockingly the Parkzone Habu has been discontinued, no clue why it was and still is a very popular model. Makes me think (praying at least ) HH has something up there sleeve to fill the gap for this thing. Maybe another parkflier size edf with as3x

    Enjoyed your video Dale.
    The thread is a great idea. There are probably quite a few FE boat guys out there that also fly and are happy to share their knowledge and ones like myself that have a lot to learn.
    I have 2 gliders and flew my 4 channel one for the first time yesterday. Until now I have been flying a Parkzone Radian 3 channel. The Radian is an easy glider to fly but is a bit limited in what you can do because of having only 3 channels. Here is a video of me flying it back in January this year...

                      They do look a little like JAE's. LOL

                      The Cub is fun to fly but it won't turn worth poop while on the water. It just weather vane's into the wind. Maybe I'll bring it to Delmarva for a little Apres racing fun.

                            Nice pics. How do you like the Blade SR120? I was thinking about snagging one.

                            Nice. xheli.com has a little dice cam thats 720p and my mqx will carry it. Should be kinda cool. It won't lift a go-pro though.
