Indoor E-Combat
Not sure why Top Gun Tom Neff hasn't posted anything about this, but we are giving indoor, cheap, light E-Combat a try this Friday night in Colorado. Just using small foam board airplanes.
I've found that the $16 motor / speed controller combo from RCHotDeals.com works just fine for these light weight planes.
Should have a report on the event by this Sat.

Now that just too darn purdy RH. Scuse my southern speak.
I'm bringing three fairly ugly planes. A Neff design FW, a P51 and well..... how could I not build a P40.[:D]
I figure I'll fancy up the one that survives.
Vic would have shown up as well, but he is off in Toledo getting checked out for flying a Citation business jet. combat is fun, but I'm sure that flying a business jet at 40,000 ft is even more fun.

Well jj, all that darn purdy paper is just too darn heavy for these little indoor rigs. Test flew yesterday and wound up crashing and rebuilding and abandoning the purdy paper. Now it's just a blue core Mustang and my tried and true Slow Stick for in-between round times.
Hey Bob, try chopping the throttle as you input the rudder on your souped up slow sticks to keep them off the walls. Chop throttle-full rudder-blast throttle is what makes mine turn real good [}:)]

<br />We're havin' some fun with these 'lil 4 oz fellas...should have 6 of them next Sat combatin`....hard to get a cut with mid-mounted motor but it can be done...very durable also..all made of EPP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdPJXX6zxhs&eurl=

Whichever stays up after the contact gets the "kill".</font id="size2">
