|  Between the constant rain and work this thing has taken a while. Finally had a chance to get a bunch of tanks through.
I love to fly HARD! I'll push gear till it fails. Take an airframe to the edge and let it die horribly. That's how it works. Makes me smile.
But I couldn't do it. I took this thing up and felt like a giddy school girl. This thing is just too pretty. WTF? R90 didn't do that. Gonna have to bang it around in my garage and get some scratches on it so I can beat the piss out of it.
Impressions from the Hip: * Hyper, MPII, 5965's on 6.3V (.10 140oz), 611, +-13 coll, 9 cyc * 2100 rpm, MAH 603's * Bone Stock. * Fan and clutch worked perfect engages just a tiny bit higher. * Mag holes enlarged slightly and installed flush. Still there. * Canopy mount moved slightly up (3mm) for taller servos. Invisible.
* Flies very light. Collective hits hard and is instant. * Tail is very strong. Didn't make it to warp speed piro today. * Tracks like it's on rails. * Stock paddles are too stable for me. * Compared to my R50 at 2100 on MA Whites cyclic was sedate. * Stubz, V's, Whites or something else definitely going on.
Don't know how I'm gonna bring myself to thrash it. But I think lack of spare parts may have had something to do with it as well. I take my hat off to you guys that beat upon the airbrushed masterpieces.
Heh. Discovered the camera was in movie mode. Bandwidth friendly. Grr.
You'll have fun with this bird.
