Default RE: E flite dimante 25 E

Maiden done today! Plane is awsome! Lots of power with the Axi motor and the Lipo pack. Very precise, crisp and responsive. Many witnesses made positive comments. It was gaining altitude very quickly!

Unfortunately I made a quick landing on rough terrain and ripped the landing gear balsa structure off[].

For a plane of this size and weight I found the bottom structure very weak. Decided to put strong plywood piece and spread 30 min epoxy all aroung. Used new covering so the plane looks perfect!

In fact I'm glad that I had to reinforce the structure since I will be using this terrain again.
