Flying for Real..

[DaveB]

Hello Mate

Well.. that's a good saying but you have to ask 'why did they change construction to Z-Foam'? As it happens, I checked the price it had gone to yesterday and it was at £71. Not a bad price for an RTF but more than I was prepared to pay. You can get a brand new PNP Mk IX Spit for just a few quid more (PNP = complete model with servo's but no rx or battery/charger) and the BNF (BNF = complete model with servo's, battery/charger and receiver) for just a few quid more than that. BNF is no use to me at the mo as I don't have a txer but I could whip the rx out of the Cat/Cub and use the txer for those.
Nah.. much as I'd like it, I want something a bit slower for the moment.. too many recent mishaps with the fast stuff I have perfect conditions to fly now and I can't bring myself to take the Mustang out I have to overcome it or I won't fly again

EDIT: Don't look now but enquiries made re Radian Pro PNP Found a Radian PNP in stock but it's only £5 less than the Pro!

Please, don't confuse me with the facts Dave.


All the best finding what you need.


Cheers

Sri Joe I thought an explanation of PNP and BNF would make what I was trying to say easier to swallow. As luck would have it.. just about everywhere in the galaxy is waiting for/sold out of the PNP version so for that.. I break wind in their general direction Hope you're not downwind

You can't always get wut you want Dave but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get wut you need.

Hi Joe..

No, I can't always get what I want.. that rarely happens. My pursuit of a Parkzone Radian Pro PNP seems to have coincided with a world shortage in 'said' item. Few have it and those that do are charging top dollar. Bottom end of the scale.. £104.. sold out. The cheapest 'in stock' is around £150.. some are significantly higher. This equates to the same price some vendors sell the BNF version for (everything in the box except the txer) B'stards

Anyways.. on a slightly different note.. Gunfighter lives! I finally managed to prize the yellow streak off my back this morning and lobbed the old girl into calm winds and clear blue skies Absolutely no difference in flight characteristics and she flies straight and true Made a very perty picture indeed

The rear float mount has been fitted to the SCub but no immediate plans to test the floats. I wonder if the local authority could widen the canal by say.. double??

Great news Dave.

Glad she flew again without incident.

I also got up today. A nice hour or so with the Mustang

Five lipos drained!!

Great times.

I'm sniffing around a Multiplex FunJet at the minute.

I think I'm snookered though.

The wife has been sharpening the kitchen knives.
