Over the last week, I've read every post in this thread. Quite a read!
Anyway, I modified my AA, I went to mono config, then shaved down the hull, then added the other wing halves to the top to make it an AMAZING glider. I tossed it in the house, flew perfectly (after moving the lipo forward) with an amazing glide path. I modded the TX (power off steering) and added an antenna that was about double the length.

Only two things left to do to make it the most amazing glder ever: move the engines OUT so that I could put it in a death spiral if I get in a thermal, and .. put my name on it.

I went out for a quick check, gave it a light toss in front of the house.

It flew. Perfectly.
I didn't even give it any juice, just a toss. Without realizing it, I threw it in a strong thermal. In about 10 seconds, it was 30 or 40 feet up. Inside of 30 seconds, I was running up the street after it, and it was out of control. inside of a minute, maybe a little more, it was out of sight. Keep in mind, the next thing I was going to do was put my name on it. DANGIT!
But, it was so pretty. wow.

I went out and bought the last the local wal mart had (a "b", fortunately.. same as the one I lost) . .

I'll attack and re-mod the crap out of this one as well. It's a shame, it flies really well.

ANYWAY, just want to ask, what is the deal with the '06's? Do they not fly as well as the 05's?
