Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

Hey guys, did my maiden flight tonight. Saito 1.25, JR 1650 6 volt battery, futaba 7 channel receiver, futaba 9202 servos on surfaces, 3004 on throttle. All I can say is WOW. Amazing plane. Go where you point it, spins are incredible. Low rates are worthless, went straight to high rates and never looked back.

The snaps were fast and furious, but did not stop on a dime. They required some good timing to stop level. Spin release was also delayed, make sure you have some altitude to recover. To the belly coupling with knife edge, but was easily mixed out.

Quite frankly this plane flew so well and smooth, I am considering using it to start my pattern and or Imac career next year. What a sweet plane. I do want to sell it to pay for some bigger planes, but I won't let it go without a tear

2 thumbs up.
