New Flex Innovations Flex Jet Pro

With all of the Flex retract systems you must do and up/down gear cycle after arming radio. Otherwise the gear will retract while the doors are closing and jam the doors, often burning out the gear door servos. It is only a 1-2 sec up/down retract switch actuation but it must be done.

I checked my telemetry logs and I was pretty close, the airspeeds ranged from 90 - 105 mph. It's nice to know that it cruises comfortably at these modest airspeeds, makes this jet flyable at smaller fields. I'm going to check the Xicoy log to see where the actual throttle was during the flight, but I felt like I was very near full throttle most of the flight.

Not on the Flex Jet Pro, although it can not hurt if you do.

I'm using the HAB pipe which is 48mm in Diameter. I went all out to keep the model light.

I’m using Jeti GPS sensor, it’s not 100% reliable, but does a decent job on average airspeeds. I have an actual airspeed sensor that I think I will install temporarily. I will measure my pipe to see if that could be a problem.
