Here's another new addition to my squadron


That to me is one hot looking little aircraft!

Build quality is good, covering is excellent (excuse my fingerprints in the photo's~!)

I'm going run a Turnigy c3536-1300 on 3s 1500 and see how she goes. I do have lower Kv motors here to try also but I'll just suck it & see.

I reinforced the motor mount with carbon rovings & epoxy as it looked as if it could use a little reinforcing.

The U/c legs look spindly but I'll see how they hold up.


I'll post back once my receivers get here & I get a chance to fly her.

It flies quite good. Motor gives enough power. I was using KDA 22-20l but it was not enough for this plane because it is quite heavy for it's size. With Turnigy 35-36B it is much better. Flies straight and does vertical no problem (almost unlimited Smile). Even loops are much better now.
