Some of the quad, this time with out the Fuselage and maybe 20 to 30 mph wind! I think there will be much less "Sorry it's to windy to fly"

Couple more of the quad and it's really getting to fly good

I've been working on this and finally put it in the air! These things are great, the stability is awesome and I can see a lot of hours on this!!

Test flight of Quad X on MWC PRO2 FC (3 min 33 sec)

Here is some more edited video from flying this past weekend, at about 2:14 in this video it's clear she is effortless on launch!

Walts New F18 Part2 (4 min 49 sec)

Some video from this past weekend,

Walts New 70mm F18 (3 min 58 sec)

Finally got her in the air! A couple of noticeable differences w/mods;

1) more thrust from the same electronics
2) quiter/faster but lost a lot of the "woosh"

I'll get some better video on the next flight,as on this one I was keeping her high for obvious "maiden" reasons!

Centennial F 18 (3 min 37 sec)

Some stats before the Maiden;

All Up weight..............1396g (49.28oz)
Bird w/o lipos..............1001g (35.36oz)
4s 40c 3000 lipo...........347g (12.32oz)
3s 450 lipo(on bec).........48g (1.6oz)

Thrust as measured in the video and settling a bit = 1464g (51.64oz), the scale read 1530g (53.97oz) at its' peak. Here's a short vid on how I tested it;

F-18 Thrust test (0 min 56 sec)

Now just need some "GO" and some clear weather!

Got the base coats on and ready for some details.

Got her back on the table!

Misc. "Stuff"
This section filled and emptied with "stuff "

Started on the next one and doing some duct changes that the CS 10 blade fan should be happy with!

Walt's Exceed Rc F18 70mm Setup (4 min 18 sec)

Walt's 70mm Exceed RC Dimond Viper F18 (4 min 22 sec)

found a good combo here; Exceed R/C 70mm F-18 HET 2W-20 on the stock 6 blade fan w/80amp esc and 40c 4s 3000 mah lipo;

Got this from a friend here Free!!! Thanks "Easyrydr" .Starting the conversion and trying to make it light every where I can. Not a lot in the forums on this bird so if you know of others that have converted one feel free to comment.

Much better with the CG at 100mm vs 110!

RC Lander F-16/ CS 10 blade 70mm/ HET 2W-20 (2 min 57 sec)

Finally got the chance to maiden the F-16 and it was hair raising at least! I think the cg was off and will adjust next time out. This bird really scoots, after calming down the last few, I was cruising at 20% percent throttle for the couple "go arounds" The cg was at the recommended 110mm.

Couple of pics on the progress of the Lander F-16. Decided to go with a different scheme, there seem to be all kinds of the just grey ones. I call this one the "Propulsion Test Platform" since I'll be using it to try different fan combinations.

Ok so my friend and I have RC/Powers F-22 v2s his with the super mega jet mine with an Align 400 2550kv. His could out climb mine so I had this 450 size 2700kv and installed it. Now it's a missile First flight no trouble, second flight I pull out of inverted from 30,000 feet (300'scale!) into a dive for a low level high speed pass, At about 100' I ease back on the elevators and they both RIP off! She goes in at about 30 a degree angle/ at least 1000kph (50mph!) At these velocities Depron doesn't have a chance! It took about a minute after the crash for the two elevators to float down.How's this for an Irony; where she hit ground there was a plastic bag less than a foot away! Guess things happen just like their supposed to! Lesson; the next one (I think the new T-50v2) will get elevator glassing or similar! Here are the FAA Crash Recovery photos.
