Default Raidentech Ultimate Bipe!

This one showed up on my door Monday morning via Fedex ground. By Tuesday evening it was ready to fly. Set up includes E-Flite Park 450, Phoenix 35 ESC, TP 2100, regular size Futaba receiver and 4~9 gram servos. Ready to fly weight less battery at 24.5 ounces, so figure right at 30 ounces with the TP 2100.
Maiden flight on Wednesday, took off from grass with the wheel pants installed. Flew FANTASTIC, only trim needed was one click of down elevator! No indication of nasty behavior on landing. Luck ran out today just a while after shooting these photos. Attempted take off from same grass field and one of the wheel pants got hung up in the grass, plane lifted off into the breeze just a tad bit too quick and narrowly averted a complete snap roll at 2' of altitude and only damage was the landing gear block was broken out. An hour later it is ready to fly again tomorrow, less the wheel pants, no more grass fields for this one!
For less than $80 delivered to my door, this little plane is a GEM! All built up construction, not a piece of foam anywhere. Pictures to follow.
