It does not surprise me that the Simple Scout stayed up so long. Mine is about two and a half years old now, with more flights than I'd care to guess, and she still flies beautifully.
Looks like so much fun! Next time (next year?) consider adding powdered chalk packets in two colors. Simply take chalk, crush it up and use cling wrap or tissue paper to make a packet. Place the packet under the apple and the air pressure will open it when fired. The smoke trails from the apples will look awesome!
@@skrimper Perhaps. Then again the area of low pressure immediately behind the apple as it moves through the air would create a "vacuum" effect strong enough to pull some of the chalk dust along. When I was a kid, I worked at a vegetable stand and would take home boxes of rotten oranges. Why? Because when my friends and I threw them at cars (bad, bad kid), they would leave a green (mold) trail as they flew through the air. And. A large green cloud upon impact.
Hola soy de España y los sigo desde hace mucho tiempo, he hecho muchos aviones de los que tienen, y el que mas me ha enantado es el EDGE 540 es una verdadera bestia en el aire, por lo cual ahora quisiera preguntarles si tienen en mente hacer el plano para el EXTRA300 de la misma forma del EDGE , ya que toda la comunidad y en especial yo estariamos encantados de poder contruir y volar tambien ese excelente modelo, muchas gracias por todo lo que enseñan y les felicito enormemente.
This was great! I'd love to see this being turned into a competition. Like, ten RC planes and 2 apple cannons per team, opposite sides on a field and the planes have to drop little bombs on a designated area on the other player's base. Let it go on a time limit or as long as there are planes which can fly.
Oh! Is that why? I had noticed the change but couldn’t make a concret link between who left and the drop in enjoyability. Not to say that I don’t like what there doing but I just liked it a little more before! Keep it up ft! (I’m sure it’ll get even better: I’ve noticed an increase recently in quality)
Cheers ,great vid,fun for all involved. Thanks Flite Test. Unfortunately here in Australia those great Apple cannons would be highly illegal. The fun police would be frothing.
It would be my dream to come out there and have some fun with rc planes with you guys. I've been watching you guys since I've been 11. Which is crazy to me I'm 19 now and it litterally feels like a lifetime. I've always loved playing with rc planes and helicopters
