Seems to me that you crash and burn more than you are in the air.

Click post.


now again


one more time now


just keep stabbing at it, it'll go eventually

[Ack-Ack]

made this up? 

He's referring to the comment about how kids with high powered BB guns were shooting at your plane.  Usually, when one adds an embelishment like that it's a pretty good indicator that the rest of the story is the same.  Basically, if it looks like bullscat, smells like bullscat, it's bullscat.


ack-ack

Maybe there are some LTARs in the neighborhood.

The answer is simple....

Conspiracy theories!  Woohoo! 

Anyway, why would someone make this kind of stuff up?  It's not like an emotional response is being given.  Also, perhaps this was right near the plane, I could see that with a full-auto gun.  Heck, a pellet gun has the power to ricochet off of sod and hit someone 5 meters away at a reverse angle (like throwing a ball at a wall and nutting your friend).  BB's could easily knock his plane out of the sky, all it takes is a few well-placed shots and BAM! that's all she wrote.

too many things happened to that plane for it to be real.

also....at our club......we really DID shoot down one of these....


with a paintball gun. 3 different adults tried. they all missed. the plane was in slow flight too.....to make it easier to hit.
 the fourth guy put the gun on full auto, and finally hit it......1 round right through the fuse, broke the elevator linkage, and it went in.

the point being......kids with bb guns aren't gonna take an r/c model down.

Being a child doesn't mean that you can't aim.  And like I said, the guns were probably on full auto.

to the best of my knowledge, they don't make full auto bb guns......but i could be wrong.

 my point was that they are VERY difficult to hit when you're actually trying....imagine hitting them by accident.

akak explained it best.




shenanigans.

I have one that'll shoot BB's full auto, it looks very, very real.  Made by D-Boys, typically shoots 7mm plastic, but BB's will work just fine if you increase the power on the Hop-Up system to account for their weight.  Consider this, a cheap springer will put a hole through a sled at ten feet, imagine a full auto-BB gun at say 30 feet!

imagine hitting a small airplane doing 50 mph with that.

He never said what the speed was.  We should find that out before anything else is debated.

But anyway, he said kids, with guns, so it might have been something like five kids with D-Boys BB machine guns running on green gas.

Let's hear from legoman before we go any further, we don't have enough data to draw a conclusion yet, of any sort.

In Lego's defense, he didn't quadruple post.   "Seem", "Sound", tis neither here or there.

You'll notice the "Persona Non Grata" under his name, that is the only conclusion so far.

even slowing the t34 down to less than 20mph it was nearly impossible.
