Stunning!!!! I gotta get one sometime soon. Thanks for posting, Mike
Thanks Mike and I hope you do I do not think you will be dissappointed. Today was probably one of the best days of flying I have ever had. We took out the new VIsa and after two short flights to set the stab incidence we flew 5 or 6 more smiling the whole time. I almost hate to say this publically but a good friend and long time modeler (Jim Kimbro thats right Mr Deception) told me when we were practicing a few weeks ago something that just may be very true. He said that once I fly a painted wing I will never go back.

Well I am not 100% sure if that is the case but let me just say the Visa was on rails today and we flew in all conditions. It started out hot, and muggy, then came the wind from our back blowing over a treeline. Talk about rough air you could feel on the ground lol. After the wind came some rain and then calm. The plane flew the same in all conditions. I had it set up the same as the first Visa and when I say the same I mean the exact servos out of the crash. The first plane I thought snapped incredibly good and I was actually worried about being able to duplicate that because the wings were so light. I have not weighed just the wings yet but I will tomorrow.

Anyway this plane is enough better that the first snap I did in P11 I heard all the guys gasp then Marcelo was right behind me asking what we did different. My answer was nothing. It wasn't really faster it just started and stopped with no wiggle at all. Everything else is the same as far as mix goes it has none with rudder just the standard 2% down elev. with throttle at idle and 2% left rudder half to the left at idle.

We flew it with TP5000's at 4.7 kilos and the new 45C TP4400's at 4.75 Kilos. What I do know now is that I can put another Battery support just behind the motor and run 4350's, go to the 480 or 350 TP 2cell reciever pack, an 8 channel reciever and light wheel pants and be under 10 pounds. Will I, I doubt it but it can be done. Gotta run the girls are waiting and it TGI fridays night lol.

I added a few pics

Enjoy
