I got an hour and a half instruction in a Tiger Moth today, so it was a good day for me too. The best part was dropping down through a hole in the clouds at about 4000' over Wasaga Beach.

I've played trumpet for 40 years.. that's why I know what a monster this guy is. Hilarious and totally, insanely musical at the same time. Totally entertaining.

This electric Demon I'm working on likely won't be insanely fast, but should be quick enough for fun. Depending on cell count and prop can run between 1100-1400w input. I'll try it first on 5S and a 6x5.5 prop, that's about 1100w input and pitch speed of 150-something. My motor mounts should show any day so I can finish up the motor mount area and detail the front end. The rest is almost ready to cover.

I got some of these cool wing servo mounts/exit fairings recently, I've seen them in some composite ARF's.. I will try to use a pair on this.
