I went yesterday from 1:30 to 3:30. It was pretty good. Flew all alone for two hours. very peacful way to get rid of daily stresses.

rg15 on a plank is not the best. Its gonna take alot of reflex and thus it will most likely be a slow flyer. Look at a MH32 or MH45. my 2 cents

I was surprised how well the Patriot maintains energy in turns with that low aspect ratio wing. Do you have a gross weight on your model?
