Chris Channon Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hi all at RCM&E, could i suggest a review of the Piper Cub sold by Galaxy models for less than £50.00.It is a superb bit of kit, it needs to be reviewed in the mag, not often you get such a good model ( instuctions are poor) for so little money.Please, check it out.Chris.

David Ashby - Moderator Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Trouble is we had a spate of Cub reviews a while ago....we were in danger of turning into Cub monthly! - looks like good value that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Channon Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Jonathan Lewzey wrote (see)This one?i was looking at buying one not so long agoHi Jonathan, yep thats the one, it really is as good as the advert.I bought one for my little saito .40 four stroke as i had a Flair cub years ago with the previous version of the Saito in, if flew really well unfortunatly i could not get a Flair one so bought one of these, Get one, you will not be dis-appointed !!!RegardsChris.

David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Sorry Chris - First Person View ....flying with a camera in the model using a 2.4ghz downlink to some goggles. Your flying view is what the camers sees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yes, the chap I've been talking to has to sit down when he flies, not suprised!Here a bit about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Lewzey Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 erm -sorry, what is the point of this system? Its vitual reality but controlling something real. surely this is just a computer game but a step too far? I thought the point of r/c flying was controlling something remotely. Also, having your eyes covered by those goggles is a bit of a safety risk; you can't look around you to see whats going on with other aicraft. Besides, you'd look a bit of a twit at the field wearing all that equipment all over your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Chiocca Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Wow! This looks amazing!I always wondered about this but only got as far as the FlyCamOne stuff. This is certainly the next level! I wonder how big the extra gear is though - would it fit in my Electric UHU?Those videos are very impressive, and I've found more on YouTube. Evidently these guys can Pan and Tilt the cameras by moving their heads on the ground! I also came across a device that overlays GPS data/ battery data onto the video such as height, direction home, battery left, etc. awesome!All they need next is airsoft strapped to the front and we can have proper air combat!!

David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I can see the attraction and it gives one the ability to fly where you couldn't from the normal fixed position, if you see what I mean. There's a video in our You Tube front page gallery where this lad is flying between sky scrapers and the model is out of the normal visual line of sight at times. The cameras are very light, lighter than a FlyCamOne unit in fact Mark. As you say, proper air combat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Davey Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Can I suggest an article on night flying? Been having a blast w/a Parkzone Ember outfitted w/leds powered off the stock battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Funny you should say that Stan as I'm just adding lights to my Slow Stick as we speak - stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Sheehy Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 When I described this to a friend she said it was like an out of body experience. How true, and not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
