Default RE: sig large sundancer arf

Congrats on your successful maiden flight. Looked great. Your video is the first one I've seen of a Sun Dancer in flight. I picked up a giant Sun Dancer at a local hobby shop about 3 months ago ( was amazed to still find one). What a great ARF. The best hardware I've ever seen in an ARF. Put a DL-55 in it ( It's a bit over-kill, but who says you have to fly at full throttle) with a Xoar 22x8 prop and it balanced out right on the numbers, with no added weight. Weighed in at 17.3 lbs. Just waiting for my 6v RX battery to put her in the air. The dead stick landing was great, looks like the glide ratio is pretty good for that large of Bipe, better than I would expect. Good continued luck with your Sun Dancer. Mike (ACF)
