Just as JOG says below. Our field is like a putting green and they’d just mowed it the day before. After a few flights I end up covered on clippings and bug guts…
That's The only downside to running fuel. The exhaust blasts oil all over the plane, the wheels toss grass,and it's a mess. But Nothing smells like that fuel. Electric is so clean, no finger cuts, but the sound of an engine, coming up to speed, the rich crackling drops away and it's just a single note, I miss it.
I recently built an RC aircraft. It lasted until the 2nd launch attempt before I completely cracked the frame. :( Such is life. Planes were meant to fly.
You must rebuild when the fun machine sharts and keels over.
ReplyDeleteOk, Mr. Man... what hell you do to this thang? Story, please... even if it's a lie.

ReplyDeleteYup. There are very few nitro guys these days. The cool kids run either gassers or electrics…

ReplyDeleteI'm building another one currently.
Still love hearing and watching those things fly. Always wanted to do it but never did.
