My Electrostreak has been the last kit I've built for a while... too many ARFs in the queue!

I specifically built mine to take advantage of the high-voltage e-power systems available. I'm using 10 2000 mAh nicads, an Astro 15 FAI and the matching Astro ESC - I think it's a 215. I'm also using a 7x6 Aeronaut folding prop. I'm pulling just under 47 amps, static - I get about three minutes at full throttle.

I had to make a few changes while building the plane in order to fir the big pack. I moved the rudder and elevator servos behind the wing bulkhead, and went to dual aileron servos. The battery pack just fits into the space beneath the wing.

Performance is breathtaking. Very groovy, very fast. Mine lands at a fair clip due to the extra weight, but is perfectly manageable. Mine also has the distinction of being the only electric plane that has exhaust stains on it - that 15 FAI puts out a bunch of brush dust!
