Just had my first flights with the Avistar ARF yesterday and today. Yesterday was oNLY one flight cause we ran out of sunlight. Today was a blast! We flew for about 3 hours. I'm using a .46 FX with it, and it's plenty of power. Considering my lack of flight time (I had a trainer b4 this one, crashed after 3 flights due to mechanical prob), I did really well. Several smooth landings, and we did hand launch takeoffs cause the grass was a bit thick. Interestingly, the hand launches were very easy, the plane flies slow and the power of the .46 pulls the aircraft right up out of your hands.

With the .46 at 1/3rd power and practicing landing patterns the tank gave me about 25 min flying time. Some of the flights where we opened her up a bit the fuel went about 15 min or so.

I'm loving this plane!
