Status: offline 		Ok guys I got to test fly mine today. Got in 5 flights. First let me say WOW. Although I have been flying several years and have owned dozens of planes and flown and test flown many others my experience in electric flight is limited compared to my glow and gas flying experience. But I have flown several different electrics and this plane is hands down the best flying electic so far that I have flown. I just recently finished a GP Reactor 40 and this planes flying characteristics remind me of it. On low rates this plane is smooth and percise. It is like you are flying a much larger plane. On high rates it will hang with the best 3D planes I've tried. The roll rate is fast on low rates and on high rates its a blur. It also snap inside and outside violently. Knife edge flight is very good. It does tuck slightly toward the canopy but not much. It is easy to hold just a touch of up elevator to keep it straight. I did a slow knife edge into the wind and the plane almost came to a stop on knife edge. It looked like a knife edge harrier. It has enough rudder authority to do knife edge loops. I also tried a blender or two and man that was violent looking too. Inverted spins are great as well. This planes is well worth the money and then some. I couldn't be happier. FYI I'm running the E-Flight 450 brushless motor with e-flight 20 amp speed control and thunder power 1320 li-pos 12x6 APC e prop. This gives great vertical performance.

Status: offline 		Hey Tim,
We definately need to get together and fly. Just curious where you are flying. Right now I am going all the way to Morganton to fly but it is a incredible place to fly and we have a good club. I fly everything from small electrics to 50cc gas planes. The field at Morganton is great for the big planes.
By the way you are going to love the Tribute FX. It is as much fun as anything I have to fly and my knees don't knock so bad flying it as it does flying my WildHare Extra 300.

Status: offline 		Hey Taildragger,
Ain't it a small world. I talk to ole Tommy about every day. Man that dude has went plane buying crazy. He just had me order him 2 new ones at one time, to hide them from his wife. His garage looks like a hobby shop.
Man I am looking forward to seeing a 40% plane fly at our field. A few other guys and I have 50cc planes that we fly there which are about the largest ones currently flying. One old timer has flown his 33% Hanger 9 Edge 540 and thats as big as I've seen.
Hope you come to visit us soon. Your gonna love the Tribute FX.
