Flying RC airplane into tornado

[Verne Carlson]

Your brain processes shapes before color. I would still put a couple invasion stripes on the bottom of the wing out towards the tips. Wish you could have got that first storm video to work! At least you learned something before it was a tornado video lost!
Lastly, beshure to flip your fingers down on launching that Stryker. Chewed the crap out of my index finger by keeping it pointed ahead during a launch. Its hard to order 5 beers with only three fingers!

Ouch! I saw that in the instruction sheet and wondered that about the pusher prop. I throw mine and then hit the throttle, in a good stiff breeze it works great. No wind is a little crazy as it likes to stall before you can reach the stick.

Here's the video I did get so it shows at least the potential near a storm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wihL4A-Fawk

Youre definitely getting there, Verne! Real life experience with a project really propels it forward and really reveals any problems you will have.

These were taken almost a year ago from my electric twin boom, the camera mounted out the side, of an approaching Florida pop up storm, I did wait until it was almost on top of us to land and recover the plane.
