Jonathan Lewzey Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I hope you've got a large sports hall if its for indoor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Keegan Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Just been today, it's the size of 4 badminton courts and very high. but it will fly outdoors on a calm day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Lewzey Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Same size as the one our club flies at. Build it very light and you should just about avoid the walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Lewzey Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 something 2s, around 300-350mAh is what i'd go for. Either the flightpower EONlite 350 or the Hyperion litestorm 350. should be light enough, but if you can find a smaller, lighter pack from micron or allflight or another indoor specialist that might be better.

Fred Keegan Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 My pal Geoff from our school days found some old pictures of when we were in the old Pontefract club and we were on a day out some where ?. Me on the left my sister in the middle and Geoff on the right. I think the model is one of my Dad's Slicker mite I think? Geoff as neverstop building but he only does free flight, when I see his down in the town he keeps saying BUILD A FREE FLIGHT. So I have found an Airsail Kit Of a 1939 ( three years after I was born ) HERON Gas Buggy . Mine will be electric and RC NO RUNNING FOR ME. Geoff and I are 72 years young He has a bike to fetch his models , I have Radio. Edited By Fred Keegan on 24/03/2009 12:59:29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
