That was pretty much full throttle. Don't be afraid to fly yours, even though it flys fast it also flys as well slow. I was out today flying and I flew about 3/4 throttle and I love the way it handles at 3/4 and below.

here is some video from today: http://216.120.170.155/ed/movies/FourStar60.wmv

What is that black antenna pointing out the top of your four star? Is that for a video transmitter?

Here is a video of my kit bashed 120 doing a slurry bomber drop on a giant scale cub that had gone in.

I can't link to the video itself, but if you go to [link=http://www.flagcityrc.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=Photo%20Album%20;photo_height=500]this link[/link] on our clubs website this page contains pictures of our Giant Scale Fly In. Down at the bottom you'll find a link to a video called "Put That Fire Out". The file is rather large, so don't give up on it, it does work.

Enjoy it if you get to it.

Hey echo,
what kind of camera do you have mounted on the plane? I have been looking for some, but dont want to mount my good 4 mega-pixel elph on the plane.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Where did you get your transmitter antenna and how did that work? Your videos look pretty good.

I haven't had a good day yet to try my new antenna, but I got it at microcameras.com. My new antenna is about 8" high and I believe it is a 8db gain.


All of the videos so far where done with the little whip antenna that comes with the transmitter.
