Default RE: Turbinator-E

I finally got a maiden flight on my Turbinator. I found no nasty tendencies. It flew very smoothly with little trim needed. (dumb luck.) It did seemed to be a bit underpowered. With that in mind I installed a WM 400 fan using a Mega 2 motor. This particular combination draws 39 amps. I will have to recheck the wattage. The switch in fans was very simple due to Mr. Zirollis design. From what I see, this is a very well designed plane. I will still need to tweak it out a bit, but I can see where this will be a very good flying airplane once all the final adjustments are made.
