kdubya Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Was at my RC flying clubs annual show today, (fantastic weather for a change) one of my mates (Chris) says are you still interested in getting a ducted fan F16? my reply was yes, but buying another toy would have me divorced,shame he says I know there is a beauty in the bring and buy tent, going for a reasonable price, so he says come and have a look, which I did and confirmed it would do very nicely,but I says nope cant justify it, Chris says shame I know the seller he owes me a few favors , I could maybe get the price down. I said no, nice but I dont have the cash on me anyway so I will pass, sits the day out and goes home,about an hour after I had been in there is a knock on my door,one of my other mates, is stood there, he says "you forgot something at the show" its in my car to which he opens the tail gate and shows me the F16? what the hell I say, to which he said Chris knew you would want it and he had already bought it for you when he showed you it (sneaky ***) he says its a thanks for helping him in the past, and I brought it as he knew you would not take it off him, So now I have this to play with, if I ever get time, it even has vectored thrust so should be fun to say the least.

grrclark Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 That is a fabulous looking toy, but more important is having a friend who would do that for you. When it's running at full chat how long do you have before it runs out of range of the RC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
