Very fast, flies great, hand launch and control setup tips.

I recommend don't use expo or very little. With such a fast plane, I thought expo would smooth out the controls, but if you hand launch it and it's a little nose heavy or needs up trim, its' very scarey if it dives toward the earth during a hand launch. And if you manhandle a plane during launch, bad things happen. Also, hand launch at a 45 degree angle upwards. You can always bring it downward easier that upward is it heads toward the ground during a hand launch. Mark your batteries with a sharpie. so they are in the same place every time you change them, because with the short length of the plane, even minute balance changes will cause drastic CG changes. I want to practice with it more before installing my airborne video system, but I will probably build a rolling launch dolly for the plane to sit on for takeoffs.

So impressed with this so far. The easiest plane you will ever build, about 10 screws and done. Flies way quicker than I expected, certainly compared to my old fx61. Really recommend a folding prop as it lands hot, I used the one from the wingnetic which seems perfect. Great fun to fly whether fpv or not. Loving this right now...

Super simple build. Almost no glue required, but I did add some to the vertical sabilisers to gice a bit more strength to the single screw. The air frame is nice and stiff. Thick carbon tube to join the wings through the fuse and extra carbon through the core of the wings almost to the tips. Really smooth quality finish to the foam. The power system is perfect. 10 minute flights on a 2650mah battery. Easy to hand launch, I have been launching from the wing, discus style. I would highly recommend this plane. Cheers Michael

At a higher altitude, this model is under-powered. May need a bigger prop. But it was on sale, so no regrets.
