Hello dears,

Sorry to divert you all back to the original subject of this thread however...
Have you guys already flown your Element 170’s and perhaps had a chance to perform a P09/F09 with it?
I am (and dare I say so many others?) very anxious to hear about the flying qualities of this nice looking plane.
How about stuff like coupling – does it need any mixes?
If anyone has more info please post.
This airplane sure looks like a bargain, provided it has good flying qualities and can “make the weight” (5 KG) using a DZ170.

Cheers,

Danny
Danny, please see the build thread in the electric pattern thread for the Element 170 for a flying report.

Chris Fitzsimmons did a nice job of the build part. Even tho he built electric, the DZ170 should be a drop in since it was designed with that size motor in mind. Should make 5 Kilos or less easily with the DZ170 since Chris is almost 5 Kilos with the electric setup.
