Default RE: Ebay Rafale...?

I dont really want to push it for flight times right now Just take it up for 4 minutes tops maybe 5 its like 90 degrees here now with opressive humidity. I will test it for longer flight times when the weather cools. I think it will be about what you said after 4 or 5 the Li Po was just starting to warm up. This new motor sounds sweet compared to the ragedy vibration prone motor that came on it. I guess the airspeed is the same. He said this motor was off an FA18 Hornet. I guess Im gonna find out for sure cause this will be the next motor after this one. unless there is something slightly hotter. I dont think I would want a really fast motor on this thing its hard to see at a distance. Our runway sucks so I keep running off the edge cause its so narrow and going into the grass which is ok but the front gear bends back a little most of the time.
HEY is this your plane Canopy picture Vettster ? I Tried to fly my 2100 Li po and couldnt even get off the ground. and mine is further back than this
Heres the video of my crappy landing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nikz5hUCIIU
