Ok for those of you reading in the forums you are probably aware that myself, Hawk and Aeion have recently purchased a new flying machine.

The Silverlit X-Twin 3D plane was purchased from Wonderland Models and is immense loads of fun. We were unable to really play the games that we had lined up due to the weight of the aircraft and the amount of wind outside.

The plane seemed to manage to give you some indication to control it but I cannot be sure as it seemed to go where the wind wanted more. There was some fun harmless collisions both with bushes, people, other planes and obviously the floor. I think the most amazing thing about these little critters is no matter how hard you decide to slam it into the floor, which incidentally happened a lot they just don’t break. (Apart from hawk’s which was mostly tape by the end of the day )

Unfortunatly the same cannot be said for the mustang which suffers quite badly when it impacts with the floor. The first successful launch lasted around 5 sec’s before getting hit by a gust of wind that sent it sideways snapping its wing. Now to most people they would have left it there and given up, but I decided what the hell lets stick the wing back together with sticky tape So after 10 mins with a roll of sticky tape she was ready to go again and before we knew it she was up in the air.

At this point the mustang would not stop banking to the left no matter how much I trimmed it and the flight whilst impressive didn’t last as long as I’d like and it came tumbling down in a free fall that I had no hope of pulling out of. I could just about see it smashing into pieces in the distance, on closer inspection the whole of the front end was soup

Again most people at this point would put it down to experience and leave it at that, but before you know it Pingu was back out with the sticky tape and rebuilding the front end and 15 mins later we were ready to fly again. She went up, and away, literally and I couldn’t turn the plane back towards me it was getting further and further away (And impressively higher) before the inevitable happened and once again she fell out of the sky. Needless to say there was going to be no field repair this time as the front end was pointing upwards like a helicopter.

So the whole thing needs to be repaired again so I can have yet more fun smashing it up again
