The rear wing incedence needs to changed as well as CG. here's a preliminary video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuz_72JGFo8 . |

Its very fast considering the gear your using. I expected it to fly like a Parkzone Vapor......nice a floaty and slow.
Pretty cool. |

Looks like a butterfly, fantastic detail. Makes me nervous looking at the frame. Certainly not the delicate Guillow's style. Very nice! |

After some modifications most of the flight idiosyncracies have been ironed out. video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK09ZdmNYjg&feature=g-all |

fantastic, i don't know how you fly those planes in a gymnasium, pfinn. |

Thanks Brian. Little airplanes make the space seem bigger! I doubled the flight area with this thing compared to the other ones. ;o) |

Fast little motor scooter! Did you know as you built it that it would be so quick in the air? |

Yes. I could calm it down significantly but I tend to put the highest output motors I can (within reason) in my aircraft. The reason being is that "It's there" if you need it to get yourself out of some not so ideal situations (low altitude stalls, wrong turns etc.). I'm not too sure but I seem to get longer flights using 1/3 throttle for level flight with a hipo motor than running 3/4 throttle with smaller (smaller dia. higher ohm) motor. Although running the bigger motor at full throttle reduces flight time quite a bit. But it sure is fun and exciting. That's the way I like em'. |

is it me or does pfinn's planes look like some of Leonardo da vinci sketches? lol. |

It is you and you are right. They have a lot in common. |
