well I finally did it BJ I took the rare bear out for a maiden. Had a bit of a wayward take off but she got in the air after a while. I used an underhand throw. I used full elevator down and I think it was to much cause she almost climbed and flipped again. You will see in the video anyways.
WOW is this thing fast. Im seriously so impressed with how fast it is. I wonder how much faster it would be on a 4s. That TGS 5x5 prop worked out ok. I went to the LHS and got a APC 5x5 and a 6x5 prop. I might try the 6x5 prop on her next time. I really need to go up to the masive park next time so she can stretch her legs.
I had a bit of a miscalculated landing though and part of the wing tip and elev stab tore off. I will show you in the pictures. What would be the best way to fix this mate?
I also slapped a 4.1x4.1 APC prop on my parkjet and chucked in a 3s 1000mah nanotech lipo and WOW it was quick as well. Its not as quick as the rarebear but its alot quicker then it was on a 2s. It seems more stable with the increase in speed. Hopefully that prop will be ok with a 2s as well so I can run ether a 2s or 3s lipo. This parkjet is allot more fun to fly now and not so boring. I just have to learn how to land these birds more successfully.
After another two flights with my microslick this morning I have decided to sell it. It flies like poo. Even after tweaking the control rods to allow more throw and using both hyperion and intellect lipos its still a dog to fly. It doesnt even compare to the um suhkoi. I think it flies about the same as my old um p51. Dont buy this plane guys its terra bad. BUDS one got totally trashed in the packing of it and I think hes going to send it back like I should of as well.

BTW meebo I had some great flights on the mcpx. I was doing flips like nothing else. I tired to get some on film but once the camera was rolling I choked. I had some awesome flights with it this afternoon though. I will have to keep practising.
Anyways hope you all had a good weekend.
