I trick I learned is to pack that bag INSIDE the plane so it's there when you find the wreck. Had a spectacular crash due to radio problems myself where I needed that bag. Newbie on the field who didn't read the rules.

I never thought of a bag inside the plane. Would have come in handy a couple of times, along with a small shovel.

The "Bag in a plane" concept is a good one although I have switched over to building with foam for sport flyers instead of balsa, so they are a lot more durable and ridiculously fast to build. I've also fallen in love with electrics. That reminds me, I need to get out and fly while the weather is still decent.

Here's a pic of a 3D bipe that I built a while back out of foam insulation from the Depot. It is a blast to fly if you have quick reflexes. I've probably built half a dozen of these and it only takes a few evenings to put one together. It'll hover, go vertical like crazy and do inside and outside loops inside about a 20 foot box.

That lets me out. Wish I'd known about the foam back when I did fly R/C stuff. Too many years and gallons of homemade beer for that kind of activity now.

Steve,

You don't have to make a 3D plane, you can use the same building technique for a park flyer that pretty much fly's itself. Foam and electric is a great combination.

Thanx Tom, I still doubt if you'll ever find me at the R/C field.
