Tim Mackey Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Craig, and welcomeNot sure about slope sites in Llanrwst, but its only 20 minutes to the Orme from there!Email me via the forum, and I will be glad to hook up with you for some flying on the Orme when you visit. No - one I know of at the Orme uses 27Mhz, and I am on 2.4Ghz so you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slopetrashuk Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Nobody uses 27mHz - Oh except for every kid on the Orme with a radio controlled toy for Xmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myron Beaumont Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Get an old innertube and cut it round & round & If neccessary add another one Then add a length of twine about 4-6 times the unstretched length of your rubber & go for it ! Experiment ! Good fun & you're bound to learn about trimming as well . Good luck ! My first bungee was a Lancaster innertube .Yes Lancaster !(don't mention just post-war)Myron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Jones Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Cheers, I think I can pull a tube off an old bike in the garage and see if its stretchy enough... Won't the rubber be a bit too stiff though? I don't know I'll see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Jones Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Well I sliced one up and doubled it over and to be honest it could probably sling a full tin of beans quite far if I made it into a catapult, but so far I reckon it could work...Its raining up in Scotland so Im not going to try it out but the elastic is quite stretchy like a 1" elastic band and could snap if pulled hard enough, I'm not sure if the speed at which it travels is going to be ok though as it flys real quick unloaded...

Tim Mackey Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 could be handy for getting your model back after landing though eh Lee ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Jones Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Well Eric I used a tube thats almost 20yrs old, Really stretchy, Great.Do most of you guys use wings or full models for combat on the slope? I was thinking of picking up a wing but I'm a bit worried about setting it up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
