They are all electric fellers, and yes they are a blast.
They are what we call ARF's (almost ready to fly) and are pretty much pre-built though they do require final assembly and one should have some building skills to complete that final assembly. And one also must install the elctronics and motor linkages and then all the adustments and such.

As for range, thats much further than you can see so no worries there.
Flight times range between 10-15min. depending on battery used, the maneuvers flown.
Sunday was a very great day here in Seattle, and you can bet we R/C flyers ate it up. We dont waste a good sunny day at the computer here.

Ok, back to sea.
I pride myself as being a very patient man, and was taught this by my father growing up. He was the one who started me out building models and that also taught me patience.
And as JC said, patience is IMO one of the greatest traits a sub captain needs and should have. My feeling is they are just making damn sure it fixes as many things possible, that it works, and most important that it doesn't introduce any more bugs. And this will require exstensive testing, and that takes time. Especially if in that testing more bugs are found.
And it's my hope that they may even be giving us something we dont expect.

The irony here is that the only people who can accurately answer the question posed by the OP work for Ubisoft.

Dan or Mihai may have hinted to some via PM or e-mail, but that info would not be for public consumption.

The thread is therefore redundant and invites speculation and off topic posts.

I think JC was the fourth gunman on the grassy knoll.

Default A more relevant question

The OP had a good question, however later in the thread just grabbed the wheel and hauled off in a direction having NOTHING to do with the thread.

My question is, following the lunacy of the thread with Uber Gruber, where in the heck are the mods concerning this mess?

The WTC stuff should be in general discussion, instead of being allowed to hijack a legitimate thread about the delay of the patch.

By the way, I have friends that worked at ground zero, and they have seen stuff that was very fishy, so don't discount "conspiracy theories"

There were colums designed to take the hit of a 707 that had diagonal cuts in them. Have a look at what that suggests. It is not good. Also watch the footage of building 7's collapse. That is really fishy. It crimps like building that are purposely demolished. No one seems to ask why 7 collapsed, but surrounding buildings did not.

And no I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am just not blind.

Mods, please move the WTC related stuff (including this one) to general discussion.

Way to go buddy. Say how the WTC has nothing to do with the thread, then add your own crap about it.

You want me to issue a ban for two off-topic posts?

I don't believe the word "ban" was in my post.

I suggested that the off topic posts be moved (including my own off topic part).

Ian C. Did you read how I ended my post? I admitted to what I had put in being off topic, but they thread is so far off of topic, I didn't think any more harm could be done.

What I put was not crap. It was off topic though.
