Default RE: Pentathlon Evo - Electric

It flies!

And, well, its not the perfect plane with no mix and flies 10's.... alas.

BUT.... it really does fly well. I used a 22X12 APC and although at times I liked the pace it was zoomy? Meaning, pace was good add throttle, a little more and ten whoosh it would accelerate. yes, I know, I need a throttle curve etc but I want to play with a couple of props first.

I got 3 decent flights in but realized that a swept gear is not a good combo on this plane. I have since replaced swept with straight gear.

I really cant say too much, I have trimming and mixing to do.

As most Pentathlons, it wants to roll onto its canopy in knife edge and it barely goes to the canopy in downlines.
