Default RE: BVM Electra kit finished! EDF 4010

Test flight today, not ideal conditions as it had only just stopped raining and the grass was wet. Even so the take-off was surprisingly short. Still breaking in the 40c TP 6500 10s packs, so don't have an idea of true performance but the odd blast showed it's not as fast as the Sparks I fly, but it is quiet and lands very slowly. Problems with the mechanical nose set up stopped play today, I've listened to Uncle Bob and fitted a metal arm to the nose!;-)
If the forecast is wrong I'll fly it tomorrow at Chalgrove.
