[RCSE] "Shadow 3's are flying!"

[GordySoar]

I have gotten emails from guys who got the new Shadow 3's and they say they are working!   Always good news when it is about a brand new introduction...of anything :-)   I saw guys at Toledo with their new thin, tiny Shadow 3's in their back pockets..substantial back....pockets.   I could just imagine surface mount parts popping off like fleas! ;-(   I can't wait for the gremlins to show up on these things...it will give the RCSE naysayers fodder for posting and will keep them away from the flying fields with their oh so difficult to see synth module dials :-)   Seriously though, looks like its a great start for the Shadow3's.  Each one is tested with a Tx and Servo situation before going in the package.  I think it was Aroosh who mentioned that after all the science stuff was done (mechanicals like cold and hot and vibration) they took the ones they sent me and threw them on the ground a few time really hard ( I was wondering how the shrink tubing got scuffed!) to see if some circuit would open or something would break off.  Good thing they are whimpy Canadian boys :-)   Mine is in my Kennedy Composites Blaster DLG and I had a chance to fly it Monday on a sod farm for about 20 tosses...and bumps.  So far it works :-) Gordy Tullahoma TN or bust....great weather for the weekend! ;-)
