Default RE: new Silverlit plane at TRU

well, first charge and first flight have shown some incredible promise. even though its a NiMH battery, i still got almost 10 minutes of flying time. there was about a 5mph wind and it handled it no problem. this thing can be very quick, but it'll cruise around nicely at only 1/4 throttle. it took me probably 5 minutes to figure that out, so the flight time is probably over 10 minutes.

a fellow flyer who just got one took it apart (he beat me to it!). said it wasnt too bad, but to be careful. looks pretty simple inside, and i thought it was powered by an M20, but the pics look like its a 6 or 7mm motor.

here's a little video: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=585468

i said it before, but i'll say it again, this thing is a blast for only 20 dollars. totally worth it.
