Re: Product arrival ??
Greetings Mark,
Well, the C-188 looks like a real blast!!
Will the flaps/smoke generating modules be stock or optional?
I hope some show up in the blue/white scheme but, Orange is kind of cool too.
Put me down for one. Just kidding, I know you can't do that.
But, I do look forward to picking one up when they arrive.

Re: Product arrival ??
I purchased the C188 for my son to turn it into "Dusty". Found it on a different site about 2 months ago. It looks so cool! Also ordered/bought the perfectly matched "Dusty" decals from Callie Graphics. These are the most professionally created decals I have ever seen.
Took her to a "Wounded Warrior" fly-in a couple of weeks ago. Wow, was it the hit of the morning. She grew crowds around her from other pilots, and of course, the kids. My 4 year old son was so proud to show her off.
Will post pics of her on the gallery forum page. Glad to see MRC carry this one. It's a fun plane, with unlimited vertical...just keeps on going, straight up. Didn't expect that to be the case.Comment

Glad to see the Bf 110 coming in. It is a very tempting plane for me to buy.Comment

Re: Product arrival ??
Greetings Sky Wolf,
Definately give a shout out once you've had a chance to upload the C-188 photos as I'm anxious to see them. Will they be posted in the 'Hangar'?
I have never had any dealings with Callie Graphics but I've read many positive attributes on thier ability to provide decals and art work that others either can't or won't.
I must look into them.
Have an awesome holiday weekend!

Greetings Baron,
Wow! I watched an un-boxing video last evening of the Dynam BF-110.
Man, that thing looks amazing!! Hugh wing area!
When I saw that it did not have counter-rotating props I thought, what a bummer, but once I realize how massive the aircraft was I know it should definatly not be an issue.
If you end up purchasing one I would surely be looking forward to your review.

Greetings Sky Wolf,
As an after thought, and I really couldn't tell from the C-188 promo video, since it's in German, do you know if smoke canister's are going to be an available option from Dynam? Do you have them?
I think they give this plane a whole other dimemsion that would be a perfect match.
Anyway, though I would ask.

Re: Product arrival ??
I am with Baron on this one, that BF-110 is one I have been wanting for sure. I hope MRC does a build video and a flight video on this one!
Just got back from flying this morning. I took my FMS 1400 yellow Cub and the FMS 1280 glider to the field. Perfect day for flying. Both did really well, but I am thinking I need to change the wheels/tires on my Cub. Takes off OK on the smoother grass, but unless I stick the landing on the short grass of the soccer field, it will flip in the boundary areas even after rolling a short distance.
I hope everyone has a fantastic Labor Day Holiday!!Comment

Re: Product arrival ??
Greetings Loneflier,
Personally, as much as I enjoy MRC's product videos, and Captain Ron's ability to show that he can fly any plane on the planet upside-down, I agree that more on the actual plane un-boxing and build ups would be extreemly helpful. Especially on serious builds like the BF-110.
Enjoy a great holiday weekend

Re: Product arrival ??
I, personally, just REALLY do not "get" what's gained from watching the un-boxing of a product, much less find it extremely helpful. Unless it's the absolute premiere of the item & there's no other way to see it....ok - but that status is soon changed so, exceedingly rare.
Diff'rent strokes, I guess.....Comment

Re: Product arrival ??
I don't think it is so much the "unboxing", as it is the build video with hints and tips that I want to see. Does the model require any special considerations that the manual doesn't cover, does it balance on the CG with or without weight, and special programming tricks that will help it fly better? Many of the manuals these days are not in clear English, and rely on pictures that aren't always in good focus. Once you have build a few, this isn't hard to overcome, but a good build video can overcome all this.
These are the type of things that I am looking to see, especially on a more expensive model that I would like to survive the maiden flight!Comment

Re: Product arrival ??
Build bloggery - but of course, completely understood. Just 'unboxing' I was speaking of there.
In fact, I've just posted elsewhere a request to have a place or section about building & 'owning' planes, broken down to individual models. Check it in the Forum Feedback section.Comment

Re: Product arrival ??
Dynam does not offer a smoke system. I'm honestly not sure what smoke system Ready2Fly used in the video. We should have Mr. RC Smoke systems in stock soon which is another option.

Re: Product arrival ??
Hi Mark,
Will this container also include FMS replenishment?

Re: Product arrival ??
Bill and Mark, Ready2Fly used an electrical smoke system that is a switch activated pyrotechnic type smoker. Almost like a smoke bomb firework. Banana Hobby carried them for a while, but only for the larger jets. Much too big for the Duster. At $9.00 each they're expensive to use too.
You can find the ones used in the video, but sold in Europe/Germany; they come in small size, which doesn't last very long.
MrRc smoke system wouldn't fit inside the Duster either. Maybe with some modification, someone might make it work.
Bill, I'll post the pics of the Crop Duster as soon as I can. Thanks for the reminder!Comment
