Oh yeah! I had someone else maiden it for me. Then we "dumbed it down" for me since this is my first BIG BIRD. That thing flies really nice! It's a little different for landing although it wasn't a problem. Take off was a piece of cake as well. The only bad thing about it... the solder joints, which I found out were done by one of our LHS's. Found out too late that one of the batteries, (one of the two Rx batteries) had a lead pull out of the EC3 connector. It was flying on one battery which got drained half way through the third flight. The Rx kept cutting out and the plane stopped responding. She went into a drainage ditch at the end of the runway.
Now I'm looking for parts for this thing. At a minimum I need a cowl, and canopy. The fuse is repairable but a new one would be nice. The landing gear may be able to be straightened. So if anyone knows of some or all of these parts being available, let me know!
