Default RE: E-Flite Gypsy

Hi,

Maidened the Gypsy a few days ago and have had several flights since.
Lovely dainty little model, converted to a 2410-12 brushless bell motor coupled to a 10A ESC.
After conversion the Gypsy was nose heavy but instead of adding weight fitted a 7.2v 800mAh lipo
under the fuse with a velcro strap and gives about 10 to 15 minutes flying time.
Full power gives an almost vertical climb rate and she flies well on 1/3 throttle.
Steep glide angle with motor off. Very responsive to the controls, a little up elevator on the turn.
With a 8mph breeze landing is almost Harrier type, about 1 foot landing roll.
To sum up, I love it. For a relaxed days flying it can't be beat (apart from the EasyStar).
Drew a lot of attention when flown at the club flying site especially from the I.C. faternity.
