Default BIG HORNET'S MAIDEN FLIGHT

Flew the big bird today. Had an excellent flight with everything going very well. This project has taken all of two years to finish, but the time and effort were well worth it. The big CJM bird lifted off with power to spare from a Jet Central Rhino. Many thanks to Century Jet Models, Jet Central, Horizon Hobby, ElectroDynamics, Great Northern Models, Troy Built Models, and my many friends for their support in the completion of this project. The bird groves and performs very well. The SPECIAL RHINO really hauls. It has amazing power that makes the 18 perform really well. Will do more test flying next week, and hopefully post some in flight pictures. Some of the Specifications are 107 length, 80 wingspan, 51 pounds dry, 14 servos, JR 2.4 guidance, and Rhino power. Here are some pictures with a video to be posted later (when I find out how to do it (LOL).
