ok... That. Was. Awesome! :eek:

Is that your hobby?
I think that was one of the most graceful, yet kick ass things I've seen. :cool:

[LissaMarie]

Hey, happy birthday buddy!! I hope you have a really special day and a wonderful new year of life! :)

Want me to change the title, 3-D?

Happy Birthday Brother. Kewl link too. When i was a kid, my dads friend did alot of those remote airplanes and helicopters etc. sure is fun to watch.

[JfromtheD]

Those things were almost like gliders...

How do they fly that slow?!? :confused:

This guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEi1DycCjUE#t=2m45s) just tosses it like a paper airplane. :confused:

[ortrules]

I'm glad we could do this for you 3D. It's not really a birthday celebration, but more of an intervention for your disease. I know, I know, alcoholism is no laughing matter. But if you can stay strong, we can all stay strong. We'll get through this.

[notsolost42]

Oh wow! I haven't seen RC Planes in ages!! Totally awesome! 3D, you fly them? Kewl!!!! Great hobby. :D

Yes, its called 3d flying....why I have no idea but I suppose its because regular flying is suppose to be 2d, up, down, right, left, etc.

The kind of flying RC that I do, you attempt to fly the play with little or no forward motion and do tricks with the plane. Its much, much more difficult and leads to lots of carnage (otherwise known as crashing).

Its also called flying on the wing, basically the plane is "stalled" for the most part. It requires the power to weight ratio to be severaly out of order and the power is at least 2x times the weight. Your basically using engine thrust across the flying surfaces only with little or no forward motion to create the entire flight envelope. Although, there is some exceptions as a few tricks (like flat spins, etc.) do involve some forward motion but its typically way slower than normal and at or near stall.

Kind of like the X-games of RC flying. The power and control is so severely out of proportion to a normal plane, you can just toss it and don't really need any runway space.

Happy Birthday! :D

Taurus' Rule!

It seemed like there really was no 'right side up.'

It was almost like watching a piece of paper, floating.

I can see why you're 'addicted' so to speak. :cool:

[yokogleeton]

So wait....does a 3d-alcoholic stumble into my living room and vomit in my lap...or do i need the glasses for that to happen first?


Cool plane. :cool:

and oh yeah, happy getting older day.

[Jelena]

Somebody went and changed the title of this thread - our alcoholic jokes are no good here anymore.

Happy Happy Day 3D!!:)

[Unbridled Pageantry]

Happy Birthday 3D.
I think that we should all take turns telling 3D about how is 3D flying has affected all of us.

[boutte]

I had a RC plane when I was a kid. It lasted about five minutes. It's probably still in that bayou.

Happy B-Day 3D.
