RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!
looks good, Neurotex, i like those old classic designs. 18 grams is pretty good, she should float really well, and because of that, you'll have to watch out for wind gusts. i bet a good breeze would blow that thing a fair distance. there's no telling how far the plane will climb before it stalls, but if you use the throttle right, you should be able to get loops out of it (making it climb and stall till it goes all the way over, you can do it with a stock AA, i'm sure yours will too).
have you done the steering with no throttle mod to the transmitter? if not, you should, its quick and easy and it would make those landings a lot easier.
