Colinb17's kinda sorta build thread - now with 4-link and long travel

the filter.

 

Sounds good, Have something that needs some work?

 

nope, but if i let my imagination run, i'm sure i could come up with a fun build

 

Haha, yes sir I've done that a few times now. I thought trucks were expensive.

 

i keep finding more and more expensive hobbies

 

It never ends does it? From aquariums, to RC Short course trucks, hunting, fishing.... I have tried my fair share and they all end up expensive as hell.

 

been contemplating getting into bow hunting recently....it's truely a never ending cycle.

 

I guess I will take the 5k post spot.

I got 1 of my new frames in today.. I think it's the same one you have pictured

On a side note, I tried bow hunting (bow target practice rather) hard as hell to get the hang of.

 

i've gone target shooting a number of times, and hunted a couple of time in my folk's back yard. definitely hard. i was using a compound bow though, so the effort was minimal. no way in hell i could be any kind of decent with a standard bow.

you have all of the electronics to build up the first frame?

 

Bow hunting is fun just need a lot of patience lol

 

I have only shot a few deer with my bow, but I can tell you it is by far the most rewarding hunting I have ever done. Waterfowl is still my favorite, but archery for big game is amazing.

 

Yea I guess I should have specified, compound bow not a standard bow lol. I have the ESCs, motors and naza on its way right now. No battery, no controller, no gimbal, no landing gear no radio etc as of yet. Only bought the naza cause it was used and cheap and already knew what size motors / ESCs I wanted.

 

up in virginia and maryland, deer hunting is pretty much taking candy from a baby. so overpopulated up there that people on bicycles frequently run into/are run into by deer. we just sat in the back yard, drinking beer, and making all kinds of noise. i want to say we even had a small radio.......20 minutes later we had the first buck.

 

I "spooked" a doe and 3 spotted fawns (WTF?) the other day while riding my bike on the trails in the neighborhood here.

 

nice. i have everything i need to get this one off the ground, except for time to program it all.

waiting for some carbon fiber props to come in, but i can fly on the stock ones until then

 

Me too buddy, I'm house/ land shopping now

 

That's an exciting one

 

More of a headache

 

Figured I would post this in here too for your minions to enjoy. Makes me smile for some reason. Lol.

 

Bow hunting is all I do from September- mid November been bow hunting for 10 years now... Holy shit 10 years god I am old... Bow hunting is hard as can be... And I am a trophy buck hunter more or less... I won't shoot anything I have already shot (antler count) Ive taken plenty of doe with my bow tho. So rewarding to put countless hours in and get a deer withing 30-40 yards of you to get a shot. All while trying not to move or shake from Nerves!

So much patience.

Haha^ my grandfather is attempting to get a doe to eat out of his hand... The fawn already has but the mother is a bit freaked out haha.

Colin if you want to do any waterfowl hunting up in NJ I may be able to arrange that this year. And being that you are military you can get a hunting license in any state at the resident price.
