Flying the Neptuno EP...

I now have almost 20 flights on the plane and it is flying great! I have minimal mix on KE in both directions, some slight down mix in the downlines and that's it. I may move the CG a little more forward as well. This plane rolls like a dream and the snaps are incredible - stop when I want them to... I'm still learning the nuances on the plane but it has to be one of the easiest flying and best rolling plane I've flown. With my Hacker C50 in it I am using about 2900 - 3200mah for a F3A P11 flight in calm air. Unlimited vertical with the C50 14XL - even flying in 25mph+ winds at the Lancaster contest wasn't a problem with power.

The amount of effort that was put into manufacturing this kit is incredible... I think that it will take someone 8-10 hours at the most to get it into the air and the bulk of that time will be in installing the motor.

I do need to install a larger rudder servo arm so that I can get more throw for stall turns - the wheel I'm using now doesn't do it for me. I like a little extra just in case. Right now I'm at 4900g with my heaviest battery pack and about 4800 with my lightest one.
