Best plane on the market
I fell in love with this baby soon as I flew it the first time. It is super 3D capable, easy to build, and strong without adding any refinements.
I only altered the design by cutting off the tips about 10 flights in, which did nothing but make it fly better.
I have had a lot of planes, and this is the only one I have flown since summer. There is nothing that compares.
I run an OS .52 4-stroke and the combo is just perfect. I get plenty of run time and have nothing but a blast with it every weekend.
The guys at the field keep asking me what else I am currently building, or plan on building. I just keep telling them, "nothing". I have no need for another plane.
I am contemplating selling all my other planes and equipment, but will hold off for awhile. But, if I manage to crash this thing, which is almost impossible, I will most likely just build another. Since it only takes a week, why not?
I run carbon fiber rods and MK gear throughout. And, the servos are all digital Hitec.
If you know how to build, and know how to fly, there are no alterations necessessary to this plane, other than to cut the tips off. They look good, but they kill the roll rate and stability at low speed.
I wish Laser would stop making the kit, so I could steal the design and market it as an ARF. You can easily have a staff build this thing from kit and sell as an ARF, and make money, even with American workers. Just look at the cost of the Madness ARF. Same thing! There are VERY few differences in design.
