FLIGHT REPORT:

System was twin Kyosho Fans, twin Kyosho AP29L motors, 14 CP1700 cell battery, Castle Pegasus 35 ESC, seperate 750 ma. NIMH receiver battery. Two servos Futaba 3101. AUW was right at 4 lbs (64 ozs). The motors and batteries were wired in series, the motors were only seeing 7 cells. Amp draw was 35 amps at full throttle on the 14 cell pack.

Flights were excellent. The thinner wing and new airfoils worked great. No bad tendancies, no snap feelings on low speed flight. Flight times were easily 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Plane flies very well at 3/4 throttle.

Because of tall grass at the flying site, landings were interesting. The missile rails on the wing tips snag the grass and stop the plane almost instantly.
