RE: Extra Stiffy Build
Its about time I gave this build thread some much needed attention. I had to take off from flying for a while to do some home remodeling. I have finally found some free time to get this plane in the air. I went out a month ago to do my maiden flight at a club meeting and found out very quick that I had a bad receiver and it glitched straight down in to the paved runway at full throttle. The good news it that this airplane is as durable as they say it is. It was unharmed from the crash but the bad news is that my brand new Hacker motor did not do as well. I managed to mess up the prop shaft pretty good.
We held a Pro Bro event at the field this weekend and I put a new receiver in it and fixed the motor and had an awesome time with it. I know this has been said about a lot of foamies before but this airplane fly's more like a glow profile than it does a foamie. I dorked it in a few times and bent the landing gear up but it bends back to shape pretty easy. I have some video footage from this weekend and as soon as I get a minute I will post it.
