SirPent commented on SirPent's blog post Meet [rude plane name] III"Hey mike your are correct i did ask for feed back and i do agree a stock bixler is poor at best please don't take my response as an argument, i am only explaining why i made the particular choices i did. I was fortunate…"
Michael Pursifull commented on SirPent's blog post Meet [rude plane name] III"Too heavy. I've built four of bixlers. It will fly, sure, but not well.
A few suggestions:
- descide the one and a half things you want to do with it, and stop there. Don't add more than that on a bixler.

SirPent commented on SirPent's blog post Meet [rude plane name] III"i wouldn't say that at all yes the bixler is crappy and cramped but more importantly was a cheap. Most of the reaper horror stories i have come across involve low speed and tip stalling, my frame is going through…"

"Oh no from bad to worse predator airframes as models are famous for being very marginal UA and very marginal RC flyers come to that.
Do yourself a favour buy a 60 sized trainer and electrify it. Plenty of room for everything"
Christiaan van Vollenstee commented on SirPent's blog post Meet [rude plane name] III"Oooo those are nice but too advanced for me (post some build and setup pics of it). The X5 is cheap and stable and loads of space for both APM and FPV equipment wich makes it perfect for me."

You can see in the back ground my next airframe an 2.5m predator drone looking thing, i just need to find some good retracts to ad, a better…"
Christiaan van Vollenstee commented on SirPent's blog post Meet [rude plane name] III"I realy dislike the skysurfers, I have a bixler and the space to do everything is just horible. I have now got myself the X5 and the X8 from hobby king and it is much much nicer and space is just plentyfull."
