Well, FWIW, the dog owner acted like an idiot. Whatever you do, even if you are in the right, NEVER EVER molest someone flying an aircraft, let alone a 700 sized heli.
THAT is dangerous in itself.

If you want to make a point, approach the pilot after he lands, never during flight. Such idiots have it coming their way.

[Evan D]

Yeah, typed out a post about violence, anger, calling the other pot black, blah blah and decided to not post it.

[xviper]

No attitude there.

That's an understatement. Seems to be a lot of that lately. Just another one to ignore.

Jeezus I thought MotionRC thread was not like RCG, snowflakes walking on eggshells! Unreal, who gave you the authority to unilaterally pull my videos off because you have an opinion that differs with a vast majority of RC pilots??? Even RCG never pulled a video based on flying location or incursions in my runway!! LB you have surpassed RCG in this pretty outrageous- and btw it shouldn't matter one iota whether you consider the beach an unsafe area to fly, please repost my video thanks

It truly is sickening to hear little karen snowflakes so concerned with situations they dont have a clue about. Life is dangerous and thats what makes it so wonderful and precious. Fly where you want and screw anyoe who has a problem with it. I personally have kicked the crap out of someone who got in my face flying helis. I was all alone and these douche thought his dog ****ting aall over the grass was more important than me flying ,y heli. After spraying his spit all over my face and aalmost causing me to crash i decided to dive bomb him with a 700 size heli. I landed and he threw a hand full of gravel on my 4k heli as it was spinning down. before he could say anything I beat the snot out of him. Called the cops an got him charged with disorderly conduct due to my hat camera filmimg everything. I also got him in court for 2k.

JC, Welcome to Hobby Squawk, Sir.

Look up "The RC Geek". https://www.facebook.com/thercgeek/

Chris provides 3DP printing services at a cost. He advertises here at the Squawk, I think, and on FB of course.

Best, LB

Is there a place or someone out there that would print off these cockpit 3-d parts and sell them for this jet?
(Cockpit Set: Freewing F-18C Hornet 1/11th Scale Electric Ducted Fan Radio Control Jet)

https://www.printables.com/model/821...1th-scale-elec

I am detailing my f-18 but do not have or any access to a 3-d printer.
Or does some place sell this or a like cockpit set for these jets?
planning on using the 1/10 scale JHH full body pilot

thanks

Got to film this recently... lucky me!

rms, Great looking Hornet. Your LE Flap mod is outstanding. Best, LB

[rms]

Evning flight with my F18. Did make LE flaps to be able to fly high alpha approach/ landing like the stock one.

This isn't 100% perfect but it is certainly good enough for small dings and hangar rash touch up work.

Thank you...

[Aros]

anyone have a source or color code for the blue angels blue...?

Um, that’s a real scratch your head moment right there.

No need to scratch your head for very long. I have purchased many motors, ESCs and planes where those wires have NO color coding whatsoever. I always thought most everyone in this hobby knew that it doesn't matter what wire goes where. Hook them up any way you want to begin with. If the motor doesn't run the direction you want, you simply switch 2 of them - ANY 2. It doesn't matter. In fact, if you hook them up and then close the plane up, there is a step in most ESC programming where you can just reverse the motor direction from there if you need to change it. Some of the newer "reversing ESCs" even make it possible for you to simply "throw a switch" via the TX to have thrust reverse. If you want "normal" at one end of the switch position rather than the other, just reverse that channel. Where each of the 3 wires are plugged in are of no consequence.

[jetpltrich]

I have learned that the color of the motor wires really don't matter. They are quite arbitrary and only for reference so you remember which wire goes where to make the motor run in the correct direction.

Um, that’s a real scratch your head moment right there.

[InTheTubeDeep]

Thats not the F18 is it!? You move the ESC on top??

No it is not the F-18 but it is an ESC for a 90mm which I removed from that airplane to an F-16 90mm. I took that pic to ascertain the correct wire configuration less I screw up. F-18 ESC is no different in your pic. My experience has been white is always the middle and the yellow and red are the outer, you’ll either hook it up backwards or forward. This pic should help you. White is like the white or yellow on a servo, I forget what that wire is called but you know what I mean.

HAHA YEAH I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FW 90MM F16 THE CHEATER VENT LOOKS VERY FAMILIAR!
