Default RE: U-Can-Do-3D EP

Finally got it airbourne, all I can say about the plane and the gear I have in it is amazing. With that much power I thought it might flex when it got up to speed but there was no wiggle at all that I could see. Not only that but with that park 370 brushless, OMG, I had my bro hand launch for me and it could have put an estes rocket to shame with its speed and acceleration. It flies quite well, and despite it's appaerent flexibility it stays quite stiff while airbourne. It was a little windy for a first time but I couldn't wait any longer, it was about 11 knots, or at least that's what I was told. On that note it does not like wind at all, but that's to be excpected with a 3d plane. Overall I'm extremely impressed, with my setup it could torque roll at a little less that 1/3 throttle, and at 1/3 I had a nice slow rise. I haven't even had the chance to put on 3d throws (battery problem), but it pulled a fairly tight loop with only 45% elevator, about 5 feet in diameter or so. To end the flight the wind was about the same speed that I wanted to land at, so I throttled down and made a perfect set down with the plane hardly moving at all in relation to the ground. So, I suppose the only thing I haven't really tested, other than a full 3d workout (I'm not even that good yet), is durability, and to tell the truth, if I have my way, I won't, ever The only problem other than the eventual fact that the wind was just to much, was that it was a stupid idea to use my 3s 640 mah 15C pack... WTH was I thinking?! When I took the battery out of the plane after say, 3 - 5 minutes of flying, I thoght I was gonna have to ditch it because it was so hot! Then I thought about it for 4 seconds and said hmmm 15 C of 640 mah is 9.6 A, and my speedo is rated for 20 A... So, I won't be flying that again until I can spare $50 for a nice thunder power 1500 mah. All in all so far though, I really love this plane, and would reccomend it to anyone interested, and some who aren't!
