Arch, thank you for the kind words about the airplane.

Viper, the 4612 g was with Power Unlimited 4900 batteries, 900 mah thunderpower RX battery, APC prop, and Truturn spinner. I weighed very piece I put into this airplane and only used the lightest materials acceptable for each application.

The Lightning flew very well at the NATS. My placing was a direct result of the way I flew, not the airplane.
