Crashcrash,
Corsair looks awful sweet there, hanging from the prop always impressed me. With the battery, motor and prop combo you're using you should get a ton of flight time from 'er.
Jay,
When you mentioned Lake Effect, I had to google map Portage MI. Just south of Kalamazoo and about 20 miles or so east of Lake Michigan. I remember living in Gary Indiana, my dad's house was about 1/4 mile from the lake and remember getting up to 32 inches over night. Wow! Ps.. Use to go to Kalamazoo all the time in my teen years. Here in Indy we don't get that much snow, but they are predicting temperatures of around zero tonight.
Update: Well, I got my box of blades today in the mail, so that'll keep me busy for awhile, balancing all of them. Got three sets of woodies and a set of carbon fibers. And somethingelse too, I forgot what I ordered, haven't opened the box yet.
Wishing all the best to everyone in this New Year of 2008. (Man 2007 went way to fast for me)

Man....2007 went fast is right. Been a year since I broke my paw...downhill from there. The Corsair has enough at full throttle to make it look like an Estes Rocket on a vertical takeoff. I wanted power because every thing you buy as stock has minimal required to maintain flight. My AeroStar .40 nitro will not hang on the prop with an OS FP-40...never happen. I had an Electrostreak a few years ago (long before Ni-Mh or Li-Po). Had good power, but the battery to make it go (Ni-Cad) were very heavy, severely retarding performance. Looks like we're in for the big chill tonight which means NO SNOW falling.
