Bad Boy elevator missing
Almost made it two for two (two crashes in two weeks).
The funny thing is, I visually noticed it when I went into a vertical hover but I thought my eyes were playing tricks because it was still handling pretty well.
I opened up the throttle for some height before coming in for a bit of a wonky landing.

I’m interested in getting a bad boy v2, have you seen any with an electric conversion?
I’m trying to decide between putting an OS .46FXi in it verse electric. I think I prefer electric for this plane since it is so light weight already.

I haven’t seen any electric conversions of this plane. I had an OS 46AX and performance was great.
I’m sure either will work (nitro / electric) so it comes down to what you like. For you it sounds like electric 🙂

Thanks. Enjoyed seeing your bad boy postings on your blog. Which servos did you use? It will be a lot cheaper for me if I go for the .46 2 stroke, did you have much problems with keeping the plane clean from glow fuel contamination? Do anything special to fuel proof the airframe?

nothing flash, Futaba 3001 servos. Got a fair bit of oil on the underside of the wing and tail which was a big dirt magnet. I didn’t add any fuelproofing to the plane and never noticed a problem.
Here’s the maiden flight btw. A bit of a dull flight but it was my new baby and I was taking it easy.
