Did Santa arrive early? Looks great! What size motor are you using? Electric or gas? The promo vid is suggesting 10cc?
Exciting times!

Actually, this box was stuck in PEI for several weeks awaiting delivery and was a result of some birthday cash received in October. It calls for a "52" size electric run on 5S which is about the size of that 1500 watt Turnegy motor from HK. I kinda like the way it gets hand launched in the video..! The box is long due to the one-piece 60 inch wing.

Looks awesome Bill !
Those planes are insanely aerobatic and probably very fun to fly. I'm thinking 16" prop on 10 cells. We'll have to hand launch and retrieve so as not to break props.

Re: Ultra Stick coming to my bench..!
..as shown above, I have a 15/6 prop on it which they recommend for 5S packs (14/7 on 6S). The gear is exceptionally tall, for prop clearance. As usual with "sticks", the battery compartment is limited in size, so forget about a 6S, 5000 pack, I'll start with a 5S, 3700 pack.steve wrote:Looks awesome Bill !
