A group of us got invited to fly at Flaming Geysers field so we all jumped at the opportunity. I just wanted to say thank you to that club and its members for the warm welcome. I had a blast.

Thank you,
Vitter

Also wanted to say thank you to Steve for the awesome video of us flying.

Zack took some video of me flying my MXS a few days ago. I have been playing around with a motor box and thrust angle. I didn't have it quite tuned in on this video but I have it set now and it made a big difference. Any how heres the video.

I LOVE MY SLICK!
This thing flew so nice. No trim needed on its first flight! Thank you 3DHS and AJ for one hell of a plane. I flew 7 minutes and put 2629mah back in pack on my first flight. On my second flight I felt so comfortable I put her thru the ringer. She hovered at just under half throttle and she did every thing I asked her to and made it look easy and smooth. I had upped the timer to 8 minutes and put 3562 back in the pack. After that flight the ESC was cool to the touch, the battery and motor were only warm to the touch.

ps Thank you David (DPHOYE) for the help with the flames and to Zach (zdsweet) for his video of me flying my Slick.
