Default RE: Flying Yellow Aircraft F-18 Twin

Hey guys!

My #6 prototype is 7 years old. It flew with an original design Olympus very well for 6 years, but now has awesome performance and autostart with the JetCat P200. It is the first plane I painted so I laid it on a little thick and added some weight. Takeoff weight with 165 oz is 51 lbs. It's got 12 functions on a DX7 (with matchboxes and Channel expanders). I've never had a failsafe on the Jetcat ECU (with the DX7) on over 20 flights with the hornet and 60 with the Rook.

It takes off in about 500 feet and lands in the same.

Most of you guys have seen this video from a while ago, but for those who have not:
