RE: Com. Flash
I had a flash as my first jet and it was great. Get the CG right and it'll track well. Flew it on a P120 from a smallish grass strip. I used trailing link legs on the UC.
Running both the main and wing tank, I got 10 mins flying and lots of fun!
I kind of miss it now - I have a Bandit which flies great but the flash was so fast to assemble and get in the air with at the field. Do up 2 bolts, plug 3 airlines and 4 servo leads and you're ready to go!
