Topic: SAS Mamba

Already have done and watched the video (quite amusing lol) it doesn't appear to do anything special

video.. is that the lavawing one with the dancing?

special is SAL, Side Arm Launching. you can get to around 30 or so feet with a simple lob, then go out and hunt low level thermals or float around for half a min or so.

they also excell in sloping when theres just no wind and even the birds flap..

it's a bit like a DLG, but so much easier to pop in the car or grab for a back field lob.

to that end i'm going to fit a single 400mAh li-po cell to mine so it's always charged and ready to go.

there was one at Weston park, all be it twice the weight it should be.

We've always got too much wind here hence the Mamba.

I have some spare Alula kits..........................

Any chance you would like to sell one ?
I have just come back from California and wanted to bring one back with me.
However, 2 E-mails to Michael Richter and I did not get a reply.

Wow! There's quite a jump from flying combat to breaching the ANO Patmac.
I assume you're vying towards 'reckless negligence'. Most combat that does take place on public access land is  'organised and considered' in my experience.
Start buzzing people on the patch or using them as slalom poles and you might have a point but the odd clatter of Zagis and busted servo arms isn't going to raise the eyebrows of the CAA.

Andy, You’re mis-representing my comment. I wasn’t refering to “most combat” but to a specific site. You obviously don't know the site.
I’m afraid BF’s judgement is being clouded by his enthusiasm & lack of experience.

Combat at Staggy stops whenever a walker goes past.

If that rule applied at Filey Brigg combat would be prevented from even getting underway on most days.

If you consider flying combat on Filey brig is reckless and negligent thats fine. Others do not appear to agree with you.
What one person perceives as 'dangerous' is sometimes harmless fun in the eyes of another.
You intimated that to fly combat on this site would be bordering on a breach of the ANO. I don't make a correlation between 'combat' and reckless endangerment and neither in my experience does the CAA or the BMFA. Perhaps the bigger concern for Filey Brig is the amount of public access and the way in which any type of model flying interfaces with that. Not just combat.
Is it any more dangerous for the public than to buzz them at high speed with a fully loaded mouldie?

Combat flying does not necessarily mean an increased danger over and above that which some might readily accept from different types of models or flying. That is my point.

Not just my judgement but the judgement of 20 - 30 people who unlike yourself didn't have a problem with combat at Filey or Reighton.  Can I suggest it is you that doesn't know the site.  Combat flying experience i may lack but safety still takes priority for me
