RE: Multiplex Easy Star, construction, flight report
I saw this reply of yours in another thread and wondered if it applied to the Easy Star as it is an update to the Teddy.
"Pretty much depends on your skill level and how much you want to push the plane. My niece has flown her Teddy (basically a powered glider) in 20mph winds, it flies, but it's a lot of work. Biggest thing to remember is to not let it get too far downwind, if it runs out of juice you won't get it back. My nieces Teddy spent 9 months in NJ's Pine Barrens because I let her get it too far out and the batteries quit and I couldn't get it back. "

I also thought of a couple more Q's
-how slow can it fly as space is at a premium around here, anything close to the low speeds of the Slow Stick?
-can anything be mounted such as an airwars system? I'm thinking not because of it being a foamie and weight issues. If not can you dogfight in a traditional manner with the streamers. Dog fighting isn't my number one priority, but it sure looks fun with a buddy. A friend of mine is going to get one too and we think it would be a blast. The Aerobird looks fun for that, but I don't like the idea of everything being proprietary, could become a quick throwaway.
Sorry to bug you. I just see that you enjoyed the plane and have a practical approach.
Thanks again for your time!
