The batteries in mirage actually get wicked runtime, i am just too much of a hack to keep her in the air.

Yeah thanks guys, I am going to get the Outlaw tomorrow.

I got a Plantraco Desktop Rover, and it is pretty good. Awesome traction and torque. Only problem is the damn thing takes $18 worth of batteries. Also it is larger, like betty’s at about 10cm/4″

I am so sorry I flaked. I slept til 12pm, arrived at about 12:30 and then realized I had no way of figuring out who anybody was… I actually went to school with the two guys operating the go-karts…
Got to fly my Mirage tho. Next time I’ll give out my mobile # or get yours or what not, damn nightwork!!!

[Pork_Hunt]

Finally got a chance to fly the mirage, during the day, in reasonable weather, today.
After missing Sidetracked I went out to the leash-free zone in Springvale to have a fly (I had some cool stuff in the car at this stage…)
There was a fair bit of wind, but it was okay.
At one stage I hit the throttle, while facing the wind and just released the plane and it took off.
Now the only problem is I cannot figure out how to keep it in the air for over about a minute. Fair enough I get about 10, one minute flights, but still, how do I keep it up??? I have already discovered that pulsing the throttle is my friend.

Thanks trash, i like!!!

[Pork_Hunt]

nah z-beam recargables throw a wang-load more amperage than any non-rechargables.

[Pork_Hunt]

awl it needs now bro is some sick underglow lights

[Pork_Hunt]

ahhh, uA just the fella, i am pretty damn sure the enertecs, and prolly the Minis are running completely different circetry (sp) to everything else. Discuss.

[Pork_Hunt]

Cool, Ill bring my monster-z clone-y thing. Kinda hard to explain atm, but it’ll make an appearence.

[Pork_Hunt]

awww man, that’d me wicked… Ill be there with bells on. Are you guys bringing toys (Monster bits and FET/dual cell moddod regular bits) or not???

[Pork_Hunt]

Love Initial D and all, but I would also love to see a Mt Panorama track… and an R32 blowing away a Commodore

[Pork_Hunt]

So what time to meet there?
ph2t, got a portable soldering iron and some FETS to suit a bit :P???

[Pork_Hunt]

trash, could you please post a pic of the mirage and the A-40 side by side?

[Pork_Hunt]

Pencil me in, but i got a party the night before, so god only knows how stinkin, rotten hungover ill be

[Pork_Hunt]

Ahh, I was thinking that same thing, trash, but it seemed to be the amount of power that was the cause… Ill try your way now.

I do most of my flying at ungodly hours of the night, 3-4am… What would be a good way to “light-up” my plane??? SMD led? regular leds? Also, i crash alot, hehehe, can the mirage handle like a skid on the front, just to protect the props and leading edge???

[Pork_Hunt]

I’m not real worried about slowing the thing down, I’m actually thinking of chopping her down to two cells, its just to “swoopy” with 3 cells.

[Pork_Hunt]

I broke the tail plane of the Mirage. It stalled i turned and blammo! right into the ground, tail first… Little more glue, and we’ll see how she goes tommorow

[Pork_Hunt]

I believe they are 2ch, it says they go “up, down left and right” but it doesn’t say anywhere on the box that they go forward

[Pork_Hunt]

Lesson 2 of the mirage

AVOID CYCLONE WIRE AT ALL COSTS…
Punched a nice dint in the leading edge of the wing. Any ideas how to fix it? I was just gunna superglue in a piece of styrofoam and scalpel (sp) it tomrrow morning into shape. The dint is about 5x5x2mm

A cigarette lighter’ll melt it enough to flatten a bit out…

I think the tacks you use for hang pictures are brass, so… lets get down to brass tacks! (bwahahahaha, I kill me) Only problem would be finding the right size.

I got my Mirage today (big thanks to Talldude). I do love it so. I thought, “bah how hard can it be, Ill fly an RC plane, for the first time ever, in my 1/4 acre backyard, in the rain and wind.” BIG mistake, in about 2 seconds i realised it was passed the fence, I panicked and tryed to hit reverse, like you would with a car. Went straight in to the back-neighbours yard. First lesson learned.

Damn Melbourne weather, finally get an outside toy and I can’t play with it.

[Pork_Hunt]

They don’t come with the extra pinions

[Pork_Hunt]

I’d pay $12 for this site, no wukkas.

[Pork_Hunt]

Good lord man, that is awesome.
