Well.. The good news..

She flies.. and flies very well.. She weighs 18.5lbs 100% stock with no weight reductions at all..

Now, with the good news, there is bad news.. I'm not 100% sure it's "bad news" but the batteries I had in the plane were some older Air Thunders but the power just wasn't there.. Plenty of power to fly it around but WOT was.. well.. weak.. I think it's either the packs or a setting somewhere in the ESC..

I'm gonna play with it today.... My new packs just showed up and I didn't get to fly them...

I haven't plugged the wattmeter up to it or any of that, so I don't know what kinda numbers the old packs were making.. I'll throw them on the charger today and run them through it to see..

I can tell once I get the issues sorted out, I'm going to love it..

Just checked the voltage on the packs.. They are sitting at roughly 3.9v per cell.. That's roughly 69% charged.. I flew for roughly 6 minutes.. Sometimes not right.. I'm going to look at it in depth tomorrow...

Grrrr..

Here's the maiden..
