Status: offline 		Hi guys,
I had the electric Vendetta and sold it to a guy in Bermuda. I wanted to "Upgrade" or "rewire" it as Tim Allen would say so I doubled the power. We're looking at about 4500 watts instead of the 2500 in the last plane.
Here is a photo that shows my new fuse compared to the Vendetta.
QM-40 inspired this plane and lots of QM-40 guys have been asking to see it so here it is.
Here's the thread if you're curious,

Tis honestly a thing of beauty standing and flying. Am impressed beyond words. Could you get 10 laps around a pylon course with that thing, how sweet could it be!!

Status: offline 		Ten laps would be very easy. In all honesty the problem would be that this plane will weigh about 7.5 pounds so it will not be able to crank out the turns like a lighter airplane. I accepted this heavier weight as I am going for top speed. Motocalc came up with a speed of 248mph. If I get around 225mph straight and level I will be a happy camper. Pray for no flutter
Thanks for the compliment of the plane!!,

Status: offline 		Did you mean you wanted the Vendetta or this plane above????

Anyway, we flew it. We got 226 mph with no spinner (2.4 inches of flat spinner back plate) and a gear door partially down.

here are the vids,
