Worked really good .... but the launches of the Lil' Bat were certainly entertaining. Plenty of plants into the ground .... vertical takeoffs .... and several inverted launches right out of the stooge. Never knew what I was going to get from launch to launch.
Man, that sounds exactly like my bat launches. Used an old car mat on a saw horse with a plank held down with a "G" clamp. The wing slid out nice and neat, but as you say, the thing could go anywhere once it broke free. I did a couple of figure 8s straight from the stooge, and plenty of pancakes. These things are real squirrelly.

Re: I want to try Combat.
sounds like a real eye opener on launch that would have been something to see for sure. glad to hear you got it under control and hopefully you can get them both running equally enough to make a go at combat with the pair

Re: I want to try Combat.
This seems to have turned out to be alittle harder than expected I see , sounds like the plane's are under control though, of coarse with those 100+ degree days I would think your going to have some issues ,cant speak of the bladder being I have not did it yet Hope you can get UR straightened out before ya'll get discussed . They are some nice looking airplanes . Eric

Re: I want to try Combat.
I got home this evening and took the backplate off the GoldenBee .... sure enough, the pickup was at the 6 o'clock position. Moved it to 9 and reassembled. Also, as I was loosening the bolts, a bunch of fuel dribbled out ... at least a CC or two.
This should be exciting next time I fly .... mega-stunts and longer flight time.

Re: I want to try Combat.
I gotta agree with you .... the GB is really coming into it's own now that it's broken in. Even tho I had over a dozen flights saturday, there were 2-3 that needled perfectly. Those are the flights I remember and want to repeat ... what a blast! I've got an MAS 6x3 coming that I'll trim to 5x3 .... really anxious to see what happens with a stiffer prop.

Re: I want to try Combat.
I actually started a thread in the Flying discussions forum that was to continue with my Bat project now that they are off the table and in the air. But this one kept getting the attention and answered a couple of flyability issues, so I merged the threads. My first post from the now merged Flight thread starts here:

Hope that's not confusing the matter further.
