RE: Return to pattern
Thought a bit of an update was in order. I've had the Miss wind to three contests now, i've come away with two firsts and 2nd, the plane is pretty darn awesome. I changed props on it today, I replaced the 16x10 with a 17x10, I have never seen a prop make such a differnce. The verticals are full on ballistic now, I can go from hanging on the prop to full speed up in about 4 plane lengths. Unfortunately, along with the increased vertical also comes increased horizontal speed and about 600 more miliamps of battery used for the same amount of flight time. The motor and ESC are quite warm after a flight, I don't have a way to measure that but it is warmer than after a flight with the smaller prop.
Anyway, the plane is flying awesome, and I'd like to thank everyone that offered input back in the beginning.
