Default RE: E-flite F-86 Sabre 15 DF ARF

My E-flite F-86 Sabre was ready to fly at 52.8oz (3.3lbs). The T.P. 4-cell battery pack weighed 12.6oz and the RTF plane was 40.2oz. I measured 761 watts at around 52 amps on full throttle after 10 seconds. This provides a power level of 231 w/lb on a very clean airframe so it should be some fun testing next weekend.

I added the decals less the Huff dragon as I am a little superstitious. Once the test flights are done, I'll add the dragon and look at the silver [link=http://www.ejf.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=70_96_143_210&products_id=818]HET tanks[/link] that arrived today from EJF.com. My intention is to replace the gear with the tanks for grass take-offs and a better look in the air.
