Hey Guys,


Just kinda getting around to writing this up but have been meaning to get this out but with prep for the Nats its been a little hetic.

First I want to thank Tommy Goldsten for building my Allure for me and getting it out the door to me pretty quickly along with Bryan Hebert for all his setup work.
Now that I have had some real time with the airplane I can give a honest opinion of the airplane and its flight qualities.
My setup is as follows:

Scorpion F3A motor
Castle Creations Edge HV Lite 85
Falcon 21.5 X 13 prop
Optipower 10s 4700 along with Power Unlimited 10's 5400
Futaba 7008 Rx
Futaba BLS 171 Rudder
Futaba BLS 173 Elevators (2)
Futaba BLS 551 Ailerons (2)
OptiPower 2s 800mah Rx pack

Total RTF weight is 4960 with 1200 gram packs (OptiPower)

Right now I have about 180 Flights on the airplane and must say I'm quite impressed with the performance of the airplane. Running Bryans setup incidence and CG wise the airplane is a very stable airplane in all aspects. The only mix I'm currently running is a throttle to elevator mix for downlines. Knife Edge authority is pretty impressive as I have found working more and more on unknown manuvers. Many of you that have seen me fly know that I fly at a more upbeat pace. I have found that rather I fly the Allure fast or slow that the airplane really locks in on a line and will do whatever you tell it to do. The airplane is really a point and go aircraft.The snaps are very predictable along with the spins. I have done a variety of snaps with it from 3/4 snaps to 2 and half snaps and found that hitting them are absolutely no problem at all. Overall I'm very pleased with the airplane and really looking forward to the nats next week. I will have a video up within a week of the airplane flying P-15, F-15 and Unknown 2 from last years nats. Once those are live online I will post the link for everyone to view.
