We flew the ElectriStar today and it performed very well. The maiden flight was using the two NiMH packs and the second flight used the lighter LiPo pack. Even though the grass was rough and muddy, the ElectriStar handled it well. We could loop it, roll it, and fly some very low passes. The plane flew stabile and landed easily.

The only issue I saw was some pulsing from the maiden flight takeoff. It appears that the NiMH packs had a problem delivering the current at full throttle after their first charge. They should improve after a few cycles. The issue was not seen using the 20C 3200mAh LiPo packs that can deliver 64 amps.

I'll post some video soon...
