It takes power to make power.
Color me unconvinced so far. The one good flight I got on it today, and the one yesterday (both on the same 30C 1300mah Turnigy pack) left me...unimpressed. I mean, it flew ok, and it'll hovee...but "power" is definitely not what comes to mind. Vertical stalls out after 3-5 seconds, pullout from a hover is "doable" at best, and recovery from a stall was a bit hairy at times.
Given some of the other issues I had building it, I'm...50/50 at best on it right now. But, we'll see. I'm going to give it some new batteries with plenty of power, and see if I can't make something out of it.
Don't get me wrong..it's a decent airplane...it's just not quite the winner I'd hoped for yet.
