Hello Gilbert & Ed,
Looks like my son, call-sign Sniper (RCCA #892), got the bright idea to commandeer a User Name: PhillipsRC, that I used once last year - of course, being a kid, he didn't tell me about this!
Sniper is in his second season of 3696 combat. I have some pictures of his airplanes and awards and will post them via the RCCA Gallery - just as soon as I figure out how to do that!
Both of his airplanes are P-51 series. Both airplanes were built by the folks at Air Scharnell. The original one was built last year by Rhyno and covered by Jan. It was "restored" this Spring by Frank. The second P-51 was built and covered by James. They all did an excellent job!
Both airplanes weigh 27 - 28 oz. E-Flite 480s are the motors. Castle Creations Phoenix 45 ESCs are onboard. Batteries are various flavors of 2100 mAh 3S li-pos. Spektrum 6100 series DSM2 receivers for control.
I think that the "first generation" 3696 models have held up well through the wear and tear of combat (even a mid-air!), and I look forward to seeing Sniper fly some of the "next generation" 3696 models.
He does, however, have an Avenger Open B airplane sitting in a box waiting for him though...
I will post those pictures when I can. Sorry for any confusion as to who started this thread!
Best,
Ray

Lol, Chirs your daddy's gonna get you for this, whether your in the air at the same time or not.......but either way you did get Ed and Gil's Attention. Both very Fine Gentleman from Texas, and very good pilots.
Besides......all the confusion...Chris is a very good 3696 pilot, I know cause His father and I have been watching him win almost every event here in Colorado.
