..Rog
Alright! I finished it

Today was a beautiful spring day and a perfect day for a maiden flight. Although the Cloud Ranger is technically a trainer. I have it set up a little more sporty. Outfitted with an OS .10 LA w/ an APC 7x3 and rediculous control throws this little booger is a blast. Pretty quick and snappy. Ground handling was easy for me but my buddy had a time with it when the wind kicked up a few notches (the only 2 minutes that there was more than negligable wind today). I found that the rudder is highly efective on this plane and will roll simply with the rudder only... an ugly roll, but a roll. To much dihedral for a good snap roll though. and to stable to put into a decent spin. I have the CG a touch aft (1/4 inch) of the recomended. I also installed the fuel tank (4 oz) pretty close to on the CG instead of the normal forward location. It has Hitech HS-81 servos and a Hitech 6 Chanel receiver. All in all a great little plane. I think this plane is why Rog is not allowing .10's in the unlimited class for the CC races, because it will start and stay running long enough to finish the five laps.

I have to go to Jersey for the next to weeks but will get a video posted when I get back.
