This thing is ridiculously agile

Built with the suggested hacker power system I came out to an auw of about 4.6 oz.

It had just drizzled and the winds were calm so I gave it power and the thing shot off like a rocket ship. I immediately got into trouble. I wasn't expecting it to be so responsive but I quickly composed myself and got her under control. It almost went to plane heaven though :)

Within minutes the wind decided to kick up substantially, probably 20 mph winds. With the amount of power it has there wasn't really an issue except but for the constant corrections I had to keep making. Came in for a few touch and goes without incident. Real nice glide slope and very gentle stall. 4.6 oz across all that wing area is pretty nice.

I have toned down throws... with the max throws thing would be a white knuckle thrill ride (for me anyway)

Two thumbs up MillenniumRC ;)
