Default RE: Tom & Jerry fly 3D!!!!!

Bill, Last night went flawlessly as expected. I had it doing multiple rolling circles in the gym last night. Its so easy to do them with it, I actually started practicing entry and exit points on it to try to get it to exit exactly where I wanted it. It does just like the larger reflection.

It does really good hovering torque rolls. You can actually start a torque roll, do one complete roll. Stop the roll and then roll the other direction. Ive got BOATLOADS of aileron throw in it. Almost 60 deg on high rates. I was going back and forth in both directions last night. It looked really cool, then I went for it and hovered up and over the rafters, probably not the best thing to do with a show plane, but it was.....calling.....me ....cant......resist......MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA

Snaprolls are fast and violent....just the way I like em.

For some reason I cant get it to take off of the ground though. I have to hand launch it. No big deal, but it would be nice to lift off from the ground. Its just like the bigger reflection in that respect. Thing glues itself to the ground, and then when it finally breaks free....instant vertical hover. I still dont know why it does that. All the reflections do that. Oh well, If I wanted ground performance I should get a RC car.....This thing is for flyin!!!! And flyin is what it does best. Truly rockin' plane.
