3-D Flyer:
I test flew mine Sunday, with the G26 swinging an APC 17-6. I posted a flight report, but nobody responded to it so I think its far down the listings 8^(. Anyway, I think this is a very good combo, even with the weight I had to add. It hovers and torque rolls very well. So far its a wing rocker in a harrier, but you'll get that with the Brison too, I fear. I'm going to play around with the Cg a bit and see if I can improve it. Also, I have flaperons which i can use as spoilers on a switch. So that may make a difference. i did some helicopter style funnels which went great! The design is very stable and predictable. I think its good for certain 3-D moves. What's holding it back isnt the zenoah. There's plenty of power on tap and the wing loading is plenty light. I think we're looking at a CG/elevator authority situation (which I realize are related). Right now mine won't waterfall or do stationary flips. It also won't do a wall, even with lots of flaperons mixed in. Mine isn't overly nose heavy, either. The elevator just isn't very big and the CG needs to be farther back for many of the tumbling moves. Still, the torque rolls look cool, and the point rolls are great! I'm really happy with this ship. Its good enough at both pattern and 3-D to be tons of fun, and its cheap and easy to fly.

BTW, I use a Megatron starter for my big IMAC ships. This thing actually starts well with my little glow electric starter! I use my golf cart batt, though, just to keep enough power in my little gel cell for field charging. This thing is like a potato chip: One charge is NEVER enough!
