Sunday afternoon as our club fun fly was winding down a was looking at some stuff a guy had for sale and i went home with this.... full equipped Aero Bat with a never run OS .46LA(i know not the greatest engine) and servos for 20 bucks.




just ran it in a little in the front yard, now to practice practice practice in the sim and on the Eaglet

Can't beat that for $20! The LA motors aren't the most powerful, but they last forever! I had an OS .65LA for over 10 years and ran like a top.

Thats what i thought i can crash the hell out of it for 20bucks and not feel to bad, my dad is still flying his old FP's in his, and these old bushing motors take crashes alot better than the new bearing motors and aslong as they stay lubed good and not run to hot and lean... well you said it yourself, they will last forever.

Everything is setup and ready to go, im thinking it needs a new Rx pack since the one thats in it is an old NiCad 600mah and im not sure how much i trust 600mah to fly for a tank of fuel, will probably solder up a NiMh pack for it.

I know its gonna be a fast flier, even with the .46LA in it because its a short stubby symmetrical wing and its a heavier model so its gonna like airspeed.

Good thing we have an Eaglet i can start flying.
