Sorry guys, been a little under the weather lately. Here's the flight update. Weight came in @ 8.9lbs as about advertised. Power is good for the first part of Advanced 2015 routine and then the last few manuevers it starts to lag and by landing LVC is not far away on a 50c 5200mah pack. Not bad for just some pattern practice but if you were to compete(like Blake will be doing with the Galactic @ the next Tangerine event) you'd be pushing the envelope a bit. So... in comes the Tech-Aero Throttle tech system. This should even out the power output thru the whole flight. This hopefully will allow an 8 min. competition flight. If that doesn't yield the desired result the we'll play around with a 7s setup and 16 x 10 Falcon. Otherwise the plane after a few adjustments like braking, flies great. I haven't had the pleasure yet but Blake has been breaking it in. As soon as I'm mobile again I'll go out and do some calling and video. Here's a few quick phone vids just for a teaser.... Sorry for the quality but that's all there is at the moment.
