Both models fly awesome as free flight and usually go so high they get lost! Here are a few pictures for anyone interested. The pusher configuration is using a 1020 Lithium 2 cell, stock motor and prop, 2 Cirrus ultra-micro 4.4 servos, Cirrus MRX-4 receiver, Pixie-7 ESC, Ailerons, Elevator, throttle. Bird has not flow yet under power but glide tests are great with all components installed. Next version will have ailerons servo inverted in the fuse and possiblly a 1 cell 1020 if the radio will run on it. Orginally the stock motor on the pusher comes with a single NI-MH 2/3AAA 280mH. The tail dragger was powered by a single 1/3AA 250 mah. I dont think full power will be needed on the two cell setup.
