I don't know about the marble manufacturer but the stand is certainly 3D printed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Yep, impact marks. Seems like older quality glass fractures in this pattern. Now I'm curious how the surface looks so smooth in the first set of pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 I’m still trying to figure out if they are hand made or machine made. What’s all the white stuff on the surface glass in the last pic🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hobbies are taking over. Cards. Marbles. I just got into RC planes too. Man, is THAT hobby a MONEY PIT. You start with something small. You can zip around INSIDE the house with. Then, you find the cheap outdoor ones. Then you hear about planes that can do 100+mph, or travel 70km (guided by camera/gps. Before you know it, you’re $600 deep and STILL HAVE TO BUILD THEM WHEN THEY ARRIVE this is my long range flyer… First “jet engine” comes tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if you absolutely hate your wallet, you can get into mountainbiking as well Also, do you know the Messerschmitt Me 262? The most beautiful plane I've ever seen IMO... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also some goofy stuff like the Me 163, very lethal (to both, the enemy and the pilot/crew) but not so good looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too pricey, but the shipping is a deal breaker. I have an F-22 abd F-35 on the way. They both run in on a 50mm edf(electric ducted fan… think turbine) and sound like legit jets. I need a year or so before I’ll be ready to fly them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djp5690 Posted March 28 Author Report Share Posted March 28 3 minutes ago, Chad G. said: WOW !! The shipping is more than the plane, what a bummer. Still, to buy that model anywhere else, is likely closer to $400. The price of these things is just insane. They’re all foam and plastic, with a couple small high rpm motors. Someone is making a KILLING. The key is to jump on them when places like AliExpress have free shipping. ps…. Twin 50mm edf’s…. If they’re 12 blade fans, that thing will do 120mph. 😝 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’ll go quite as fast, until I upgrade the fans. But I’m still a novice at this. I have probably three months before. I’ll be ready to fly this thing. things get really fast when they’re up to about 90 mm. Some of those guys can push 200. I believe this Habu 90 mm hit 208 miles an hour Then there’s the other side of the coin. Some of the lighter planes are intended to go long distance. They’re flown via GPS and the camera mounted in the nose. Some of the longest distances they pushed it been about 100 km and a single battery. I think I’m really going to enjoy flying this guy. It’s a hobby that has so many options. I haven’t even thought about helicopters or amphibious vehicles yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
