Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

well my maiden could not have went any better[8D] Besides the light crosswind it was a perfect day.  The SS balanced as per the manuals intructions with the OS 110 up front and 1200 mah A123 battery from Fromeco.(Actually the battery was from their Iron core line of batteries which is a little bit different from the A123's) The OS 110 is plenty of motor on the ground I richened to motor to 9100 RPM's and in the air it pulled the plane around with great authority. I never went above 3/4 throttle I just kinda took it easy and flew the plane in a calm manner.  Overall I am very happy with this ARF, but I am used to flying bigger planes so ti took a little getting used to. At times I found the plane hard to see at times, The color scheme looks great on the ground but it just doesn' stand all that well in the air. I'll just have to keep it closer
