Default Pop gooes the [flying] Weasel!

It'd been about 9 years since I flew this one, and was "shocked" to find that the old battery (300mAh NiMH still in the nose) still worked and took a full charge! Filmed 2/22/14 in Redondo Beach, CA

Decided it was time to give the old bird a facelift! I was going to make it yellow in the middle but left it plain for now. It's balanced and trimmed to perfectly it flies dead straight and level and launches like it's on a rail! It just goes and goes and goes!

Yes and I'm very surprised they ceased production. I hope they bring it back, in both the mini and pro versions. I've been contemplating trying to make something similar from $tree foam.
