The thing that made this plane so easy to land was the stability. Once you line it up on final it stays locked in. Comes in like it's on a string, then all you have to control is the throttle and the elevator.
I'm using a Futaba 9 C radio with the 149 dp pcm reciever. The only thing I added was 2 smart fly equalizers on the aileron servos. T.O.M tried to talk me into a power expander but....
As far as the A123's I had read a lot of threads on these and figured out you had to pay attention to how much you were taking out and putting putting back in. I flew 2 10 minute flights, fairly tame flights at that, and as soon as I was done I put them on the charger and they took a touch over 400 mah's.
Anyone want to buy a couple of glow planes??
