| Dave Davis Jeffersonville, IN
Here's what Dave had to say:
The plane came out great, CG is right on. Easy build, great
directions.
Flys very well . Like it is on rails!! Good, sharp, inside
and outside turns. Response is good and predictable, ask it to do a
maneuver and it is done. No fighting it move the stick and the
Axe is there. I put it on high rates and maxed out the throws,
went high and grabbed all up and right WOW . What a ride! It
went berserk, but still very controllable.
Havoc over Hamilton combat event:
The plane weighed in at 2lb 9-1/2oz and is using a Magnum engine.
It is covered in Econokote after taping it out in the fiberglass
tape that you sell. This plane builds as easy as the
instructions read!! Good photos and text. I had 3 hard
contacts with the ground, 2 brainfarts, and 1 midair, and I flew all
8 rounds without needing to do any repair. Today I found a
crack down the middle of the wing, but thats all the damage.
Easy repair.
"The Axe is a great plane and I would strongly recommend it to
anyone." |

How Dave got into R/C Combat:
My wife, who is my pit help, and I got
involved in combat by going and watching the NATS in 05. I
met Mark Schofield who was very informative on combat. We were
instantly hooked!! I purchased 2 used bat planes there from
Larry King and was trying to combat at our field the next day.
I entered 2 events last year and scored 1 cut out of 16 rounds,
and completed only 7 rounds. 270 total points 1st event and 180
total points the 2nd event. But I had a HOOT!!! Everyone at the
meets was just great to me, the New Meat. Combaters are
the best group of people I have been around. When I had
problems, 2 - 4 pilots would lend assistance. I raced elec cars
and was successful in the early 80s when it was in its infancy
and the racers were very clannish and snobbish. Never would I
get the same help.
This year I have been in 1 event so far.
The first event I flew my new Battle Axe at. WOW!!! What a
difference in flight over the old Bats I have. First round
a 3 cutme!!! I finished all 8 rounds and had a total of 6
cuts, and 926 total points. I finished 10th out of 11 but
had a great time. This plane is a point and go flyer.
Show it where to go and it says OK. It flies, IMHO, like it is
on a rail. I looked at the other planes out there and they
all are good. Each one has its own pluses and minus.
The Battle Axe is simple in design and very durable during dirt
naps and midairs. Quick and easy repair if needed.

| If someone was to ask; "why should I try
combat"? Simple .. Greatest adrenalin rush you can have flying
RC, period. 5 minutes of pure heart thumping, body trembling
excitement. 3D flying .. Boring after awhile. T-6 racing you
only go in circles. Scale pretty airplanes. COMBAT IS
WHERE IT IS. Once you fly it, you will be hooked !!!
