Topic: D40 order

Just sorting out my D40 delivery from the States. If anyone else is based not too far from Oxford (or indeed Weymouth) and is desirous of a D40 then we can share shipping...

How much are they working out at? Very tempted after seeing Ad/Zim and georges

$300 plus half $45 postage and import duty.

Should of said, I had another one delivered last week.

Last week I hadn't been paid by the guy who owed me mondo money...

Well?
   
   Have you got it yet?

Maybe we should start a "Who's the Dynamic Daddy" thread for when these other D40's arrive and also for Adam and Georges D80's. My new DS goal is to get faster speeds than George's D80 with my D40  although probably not!

Perhaps it will even tempt Mr Manor over here to stake his claim as the UK Dynamic Daddy sometime 

Consider it an invite anytime you like Joe. Although when we drive 100miles to a slope we're usually greeted by crossed conditions and rain, so if you fly a few thousand miles to a slope, then you'll probably get an electrical storm with hail and zero windspeed. Still, the scenery's nice!

nice one Zim... I was trying to keep that quiet...

Whoops sorry George - I had no idea you were mate!

I would love to visit you guys sometime. When is the windy season?

Anytime Woodstock stays in Ireland.

Nope. My PMs to Joe seemed to find a black hole. Luckily for me as the new 4 servo wing seems to be just around the corner. Thank you Santa.

Starting sometime around now i think Joe, if we have one...  we would like to see you very much mate.
Book em Danno!

George

Now through till March I suppose... April is usually even rainier than normal so avoid that!!

Well??

I mentioned this elsewhere but I have a problem. Not too good access to DS sites at the moment. Hence the liking fir the D40 that seems very versatile. Then along comes the 4 flap version. Yay!!!
I actually go on the net to access Paypal, check out the RCG threads and see a mention of the D60.
I'm a sucker for 60" planes. I dumped all my foam to concentrate on mouldies and have 6 wings with two in order ( I count wings as I have e-fuses for a couple). Of the 6 I have 5 are 60", as is one if the new ones. I love my Brio, it is versatile and fast, but it isn't as totally bonkers as a loaded 60. Nor is it as suitable for my most flown site. Another venue would probably totally change my mind.
So imhaving to curse the fact that Joe is turning out planes to production quicker than James Hammond. Who'd have thought DS would be going almost mainstream?

Ed:

Have you not had a 1.9m (+) mouldie?
60"ers don't come near.

Nice shiney new Pike Brio. Its great. Just not nippy. A labrador compared with a Jack Russell. Flies on a fart and now the CG is back where it should be rolls axially and loops and flys inverted brilliantly. I love it. But when its twenty feet below you three foot from the gorse in the turbulent Carp its a bit cumbersome and slow to respond in comparison to the Bird. Tennis rather than table tennis.
We all like different things. Embrace the diversity!

PS I'd have had an Opus last year if it didn't have a one piece wing. 80 is too big for me to transport easily. Hence the quest for the two piece wing of first the Luna (don't ask) then the Hypnosis (Merde alors) and now the Needle 100- Yayyyyy!!

Hi Ed

I like my 60"ers too, far more agile than the big stuff - but I think Deckit is right, 2m ish retains the agility but adds a whole new dimension somehow.

As for a two piece wing, I have one word for you..

And the word is

ERWIN

Snowed in AGAIN so sticking servos in his Vikos....

George

Did you get a price on the D60?

sj

No its not ordered,  or No its not here yet?

Not ordered yet as I am totally in love of the idea of a D60. And I won't dare think about that until I know what the price is. I do know I won 't be able to justify a 60 and the 40.

Anyone who remotely fancies DS should get a 40. Man they are ace. Sooo robust, and just get smoother and smoother the faster they go. Chicks dig 'em too.

Dont you have 3 or 4 brio's or birds Mr Ed?
You will be stuck in the 'I'm waiting for the D60' hole while every one else has fun with whats available now!
DOnt wiat Mr Ed.
BUY IT NOW, you can always sell it huh...

George

Why bother at all when you've got multipul carbon Birds that are good for 200mph!?

Because Birds are outlawed in the D40 cup!!

Because if commonsense ruled I'd have a foamy wing, one 60 and an F3F and that is all. Where's the fun in that?

really?! so limiting.

really?! so limiting.

That's worth debating. But not here I'll start a thread on the main gliding board.

Thanks mr ed for pointing me over here from the rc groups slope thread.

Im here because i am after a micro floh (new/second hand) but are struggling to get hold of one anywhere (got 1 for sale???) but today became aware of the D40 which i think is very suitable for my needs. I have enjoyed reading the forums here in the ds forum and have decided....................... i need 1.............. NOW !!  Lol

don't go-gliding do micro flohs any more?

They do but i have had i on order for about 10 months and feel i am getting fobbed off every time i ring to ask about my order.

I have d40's in stock ready to ship. Just go here.

www.manormodels.com

Not sure if a Microfloh is a similar plane or not.

Thanks Joe, fingers hovering over the "buy" button but i have just lost my job in the last few days ! Cant seem to find any details about any of the planes on your site???

Boo Cambrad... thats harsh mate. Hope you find another very soon.
Welcome
George

Sod it !

Just orderd one, will have more time for flying now anyway, bought it out of my redundancy money !
What wing servos are you guys using?

D47, SD100 or the Logix LSX-110. All the same servo! Works fine on the elevator too.
