Default The "RIG" Hovers!

Well, with the short stay at JOD I did not get to see a whole lot but...I did talk to Eddie about the Rig for a bit. On thursday they did some hovering tests again. From the footage Eddie showed me they had a good 40+ seconds of SOLID hover time taking the rig up to 20 feet or so. It appears the rig hovers even better out of ground effect with very positve control! Considering the short amount of time Eddie has been working on the rig, he really has climbed a huge mountain! I would not be surprised if he has the rig completly functioning by Florida Jets. To see the rig hover is simply amazing, a HUGE congrats to you EDDIE! Keep up the great work, you are truly an asset to the jet modeling world.
