This was my first EDF, it went together simple and quick. I did have an issue with the supplied epoxy..I didn't think it setup as good as it should have.. I have mixed my share of epoxy, this just seemed different. Anyhow it setup and was ok. It just had me worried for awhile. The only real problem I had was a lock key on the motor shaft was broken I was able to get a new 25 cent piece from the hardware store.

The initial flight used a 2350 4 cell lipo 25c, and I was a bit nose heavy..being overly safe turned into a problem as I had some cheap receiver in the plane and combined with the balance issue I nearly lost it..I got it back on the ground, rebalanced, and set my reflex on the elevons a little higher..BINGO

I now have 5 issue free flights .. I adjusted the servo travel on the retracts to keep it from folding on taxi.

Its not super fast, but on a gray day it still doesn't take long to get out of visual with the light color scheme.
I have only been flying two short flights of around 3 minutes each charge so far. I want to get a feel for the plane and the length I can stretch the battery run time before I accidently have to deadstick it. It behaves well on landing approach, I am still unused to the long flat warmish glide though.
