i'm with Bunk on the flying stuff....I cannot imagine the pain of seeing x amount of hours work ending up as tinder on a runway or dangling from a tree. Someone posted a video a while back of a four engined jet model ending up as charcoal, nice £5000 bonfire.
There's the up and downsides to all r/c genres. An I guess we all suffer from a certain amount of zealotry about our particular genre. (Apart from Nige, he a model ho!!).
Indulge me in a small story if you will!
Me, my kid Tyler and the dog (Tooly,Rhodesian Ridgeback-No point having a dog unless it scares small kids and pensioners!LMAO) went for a walk the other day. So, perfect opportunity to test Adolf and Eva (my Tam KT's) in the field. So with the tanks hopped up on 3800mah nimh's 3 in each, the kid hopped up on tic-tacs, the dog hopped up on children and pensioners and me hopped up first time out happiness, we headed forth.
At the end of our street there is a pedestrian crossing, our first hurdle.
With tanks set to full volume and smoke units running to perfection, we patiently waited for the lights to go red. I gave Tyler his battle orders and we crossed the road. With cars patiently waiting for the tanks to pass, halfway across while still rolling both turrets turned towards the waiting motorists letting off an almighty double volley. The smiling faces of the motorists and Tyler was worth every second of build time.
Onwards towards the playing fields, one more set of traffic lights and another volley for the motorists and we were there.
Long grass, mud, sand, rocks every kind of terrain you could think of.
Plugged in the Tamiya battle systems and let the kid blow the bejesus out of Adolf. The shell whistles sending the dog on a crazed run around the field. After about 45 minutes it started to rain ..mmmm problem. The turrets on these tanks is fairly water proof but the rear engine vents are'nt...The dog had decided not to poo so i tore up his poo bag and covered the vents. After an hour and 15 minutes of total fun we set of back home, another two volleys for the motorists and we were back...mission completed. lol.
The end result of all this is i guess, great memory's for the kid. I certainly had more fun than I have had for a long time. And let me know that there isnt a lot that can stop a Tam KT. Cant wait for winter for some snow and ice now!
So when the sub and boat boys ponds are frozen over, The plane and copter men are grounded due to wind,rain and snow.
Think of us tankers roaring across your frozen ponds, trundling through rain, snow and wind.
Only problem with tanks is...they aint no
