TALE SPINS ________________________________________________________________________ I have flown my VecJet 4 times and love it. The Spin Cycle awes everyone at my field. The best flying wing I have ever owned!! John Mattox Murphy, NC ________________________________________________________________________ I must say these Vec-Jets are real masterpieces right out of the box!!! Not a mark or smudge on it. I added the Berg 4 r/x and a new Thun. Pwr. 2100 mah Batt. (15 min. Assembly Tops It All.) We tested ours out above UCSC campus open cow pastures for miles. Al (my brother)handlaunched it over his head by holding on to the wingtips and throwing it forward..Elevons set at 2 degrees positive up LOW RATES 32%. Vec-Jet flew straight out 10 feet and went straight down NOSED IN.....Al comments: "YOUR AN IDIOT!!! PACK IT UP." I said " Not So Fast Bro These Are Idiot Proof." Low & Behold I picked it up, wiped the dirt off the nose and removed the 1/4 oz. clay from the nose compartment. Balance at 8" back. I then had Al Handlaunch underhand pizza box style Elevons set at 5 Degrees positive up. Wow!!! Instuctions Were Perfect. Flys like she is on rails.... Screaming low passes in the 80mph range for sure. Spincycle fullpower and full right rudder with Vec...Tumble roll, and into flatspin....Mesermerizing for sure...Al Yells "Pull-Out, Pull-Out" I found myself moving Ailerons Right, Left, Left, Right...CUT POWER. @#$%! Too Late...Flat Spun to the ground...Of course I hear; "Pack It Up" My reply, "@#$% OFF" You know brotherly love....Wow!!! Not A Scratch On Her!!! Lets do that again....Anyway, The Vec-Jet is a true winner. We flew it 5 more times that morning. Don't try to use Ailerons to get out of the spincycle...They have no affect on spins...Just cut power and push the rudder stick opposite direction.....Yes boys; Even an IDIOT can fly one of these... Thanks For Such A Cool Product....J.T. Jack and Al Trotter Santa Cruz, CA editors note: recommended recovery from the SpinCycle is to apply momentary opposite rudder with power ________________________________________________________________________ Love the plane, customer service is the best. Dale is a pleasure to work with. Great to do business with someone so customer service driven...I'll be buying again from them.. The spin cyles is exactly as described...A real attention getter...Good luck with you new company!!!!! Looking forward for mods and upgrades... Mark L Sikeston, MO ________________________________________________________________________ This is probably the funnest plane I've flown to date!!! Speed is fantastic, so far have managed to pull 93mph on radar with the "stock" vecjet!! As for the spin cycle, took some getting used to but after it becomes natural in flight. Not to mention how many people are amazed by the Spincycle. Flight times with 2100mah thunper power were 15 mins. All I gotta say is that im never leaving to the field without it!!! Thanks for the great product and spectacular customer service!!! Herman Q Miami ________________________________________________________________________ I purchased one of these beauties about three weeks ago. They fly great. I usually fly scale gas planes at the local field here in Arkansas. The first weekend I brought it out to the local club, I kept it a secret. Near the end of the day when everyone was cleaning up their models, I quietly took it off.... got up to altitude and immediately when into the Spin Cycle. Needless to say everyone stopped what they were doing to stare up in amazement. "What in the world is that", "How can it do that". The first time you Spin Cycle, a good change of underwear might be needed, however it does come out of the spin fairly easy. I have one spin to my credit all the way to the ground. Ouch ! However this is one tough bird, just pick it up and re-launch. Paul and Dale have put together a VERY nice package, the plane is well made and it is obvious that a lot of thought went into the basic layout of the components. The motor is more than enough power, very good prop size, the rudder / thrust vectoring servo is excellent (A Hitec 82 with metal gears). I upgraded the elevon servos because I wanted more throw, and wanted a little more torque to go along with it. My elevon rolls are so fast now, it's impossible to count them. I find a 2200 ma 3s (20c) lipo balanced the plane out perfectly. Throw in a Spectrum radio with the small long range 6 channel receiver with remote ant. and you have a plane that's a blast to fly and will turn heads as well. Just be warned, everytime you fly it, be prepared to answer a lot of questions from local spectators. I fly everything from sub 1 ounce planes to 19 pound gas giants. The Vec Jet will make a nice addition to my hanger. Because of the removable tail, its easy to transport for trips inside luggage, and even with the small tail attached, it will fit in any car you have. Happy Flying... Marshall Little Rock, AR ________________________________________________________________________ I got my Vecjet during the 2008 AEF event, at first glance it was WOW everything is there to fly this.. After i got home and spent 20 minutes putting it together I started to notice the other things besides being simple and complete.. The build quality on this delta is better than 90% of what i have seen in ARF's and the design was very sound. All of this and i haven't even flown it yet! Well all i can say is the first few flights and i was hooked. after about 5 flights i figured out how to induce the SpinCycle and the Ohh's and Ahh's started up along with a few OMG he is going to stuff it.. But it is very stable and flys better than the other deltas from some of the other larger know names Am I hooked? you bet.. I take this one to work with me every day and fly when ever i can break away. If you're looking for a take anywhere durable and fast flying delta with a twist look no farther... this one has it all.. I will be doing a build log on RCGroups.com this month have a look under the wings fourm and look for username PaulVi will be posting more video and picture as well. Paul Viscovich Dublin, CA ________________________________________________________________________ "From the first time I saw the VecJet flying at BEST, I had to have one(or two). I have flown quite a few flying wings and the VecJet is at the top of my list. It flies great fast, slow and then there is the vectoring thrust that you guys pioneered on the wing. The spins are insane. After the VecJet winds up you can’t tell if it’s a flying saucer or an airplane. I have flown this plane at two funfly’s here in Tennessee, and the guys that have “seen it all” come over with two questions, “what the hell is that thing, and where can I get one”. The next two weekends we have two more fly-ins’s . I hope I can bring you some business." "Yesterday I had the flying bug bad but the wind was out of the south at 20mph gusting to 25mph, I called my flying buddy, Jack, and he said, “lets go”. The planes that came to mind was my old trusty stick 40, and the VecJet. Well I never got to the Stick. I flew 5 Batteries down flying the Vecjet. I hand launched every flight and had a blast. This plane is a definite keeper." ________________________________________________________________________ "Exhilarating to fly but easily controlled. I really like this plane. The landing was sloooow with much control. If you have been thinking about getting this one, go for it because it absolutely rocks! Thank you, EK." Athens, TX More from EK... ________________________________________________________________________ "Man it flies great!! Does some wicked spins!! I haven't done the lights yet but I will soon. I'll keep ya posted." Scott O'Quinn Macon, GA ________________________________________________________________________ "Hi guys: It was great meeting you in Arizona! I have a receiver and battery pack in my VecJet and hope to fly it after church if the rain can hold off. Loved watching the VecJet fly...and spin of course. Will be in touch soon. I wish you a lot of success with your great product." Michael Heer Stockton, CA ________________________________________________________________________ "Hey, this is a must have plane. Nothing that i have owned has stood up to the punishment that i have put this plane through. I've flown it through a tree wide open and didn't scratch it - just picked it up and kept on flying. I have skipped it down the runway too many times to count and it keeps on going. But if you really want to have fun you gotta put lights on it. It really looks like a UFO spinning at night. Keep up the good work Dale. Hope Paul doesn't destroy all your good planes." Daniel McEachern Texas City, TX ________________________________________________________________________ First off I would like to say how great this plane is. How well the customer support is to deal with. Dale is first class to deal with too and super nice. I had a chance to fly the plane this Saturday and it was a big hit at my local fly field. The plane does high speed and slow speed flight very well. It glides for a very long time with no power. The spins are so much fun I cannot stop doing them. I wish these guys the best of business and will do everything I can to promote this great product. Thanks.
