https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...6afbc73beb.jpg Awesome power on 8S after static pull check. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...14e1182949.jpg Finished product. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...a920def8f8.jpg From different aspect. |
Beach sand strip did not work in my favor today, there's always next time. Had a swim instead.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...ccdfce0b97.jpg No go today! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...d6f240f171.jpg Old boy with his new toy. |
More than happy, runs immaculate with "Mercury" sounding awesome.

Another day out.
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...53059d0f95.jpg This one speaks for itself. |
Now fitted with "Jet Fan 90" on 10S for further flight trials.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...5e0ac28319.jpg Variety for the next trials, Wemo90 and Jet Fan90. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...fda6ec64da.jpg Minor mount mods and ESC re-program. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...9dd1f934dc.jpg Pretty nifty improvement after static check. |
Certainly a different beast now after 10S upgrade, but pretty thirsty as expected so will load it up with more capacity to make it heavier to feel like flying a real jet, just love it!
