Title: new weapon!
Post by: Frank v B on December 21, 2013, 09:53:22 AM
Am just putting the finishing touches on my new weapon of choice for the 2014 racing season.  A "T" tailed slick little machine.  It may just be able to create a slipstream for my competitors.  8)

Will add a photo when it is done.

Ed, start panicking*. ;D  Now all I need to do is learn how to fly.

* all racing seasons start with trash talk.  May as well start now.

Come on Frank, you know the Rifle 1M isn't Piker class legal!

It is not the Rifle 1M which is still on order.  BTW I asked Roger at John's Hobbies not to rush the order because the first batch of Rifle 1M had wing problems (not straight).  They have gone to 100% inspection on the second batch before shipping them out.  I don't need a crooked wing to help me destroy an airplane.  I am capable of doing it all by myself. 8)

It does look a little like the Rifle though.

The wing is on, the elevator servo is in. The fuselage just needs to be painted.   The photo is next.

Im working on the thinking portion of my next years model.  Some might call it trying to cheat...  I would have to agree with them.

Ed get with the program,
in racing parlance it's called
"the unfair advantage"

Sounds much nicer and it's legal.

Ed,

Keep thinking!!  May your thoughts go around in circles and may you never actually get to building it.

We were lulling you into a false sense of security.

Keep looking over your shoulder.

Project complete! 
It will be unveiled at next Week's Pilot Meeting. 
It will be wrapped in a garbage bag until it is revealed.  I will save the garbage bag to carry it home in after the first race. ;D

Fly in my slipstream Greg and Simon!    .... please.
