Vapor combat 2 of 2

Daniels vapor however did not fair so well. Would you believe that this was still very flyable even with half of a horizontal stabilizer? It did - daniel claims it flew pretty much the same except for a lacking in lift. That lift problem could be because of his battered and torn main wing however. I'll try to fix this sometime. But the horizontal stab can be bought as a unit for less than 10 bucks as I recall.

Vapor combat 1 of 2

Tonight daniel and I had a little vapor on vapor combat. We both took damage - but I came out better than daniel did. Here is where daniels prop sliced thru my wing.
 
A very simple tape fix is all that's required here. This vapor flew fine even with the tear.

Somethings not right

Lost the plane then found it way past the tree line. I suspect its the 2800 mah battery (weight) but only guessing. Busted prop is the only apparent damage.

This bonus hour brought to you by...

Daniel left his cell phone on the plane... An hour ago. We are still here cause they say they found it and they say they are bringin it down. That was 30 minutes ago.
Ask me if I'm enjoying the final hours of my vacation. -jj

We found a clear spot

We drove to the end of the public access way and it opened up just enough at the canyon for us to get some pictures in. Did you know its $25 per car for one day? This was an expensive picture.
