Here's what Dave had to say:
The plane came out great, CG is right on. Easy build, great
directions.
Fly’s 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 - April 29, 2006:
The plane weight 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 brainfart’s, 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 that’s 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 80’s 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 Bat’s I have. First round a 3
cut…………me!!! 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 say’s “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 midair’s. 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 !!!
