Firstly when you open the box you realise how big this model is. It does have an impressive presence. Assembly is very quick and easy, only taking about 10 mins to join the wings, tail plane and that huge tail fin together. The main flight battery takes about 1hr to charge and it’s very easy to install/remove from the model So, its a mild Sunday afternoon and off I go to my local field. I checked and then rechecked the flight controls and the centre of gravity as described in the instructions. Moment of truth A very gentle throw in to the wind and she was off - on full power she developed a lovely gentle climb.. I initiated a gentle turn to the left and was very surprised to see a lazy stable turn - that huge tail area really gives excellent stability. With the wind up her tail she really shifted, but at all times remained stable and controlled. After a good 20mins I could see that she was loosing power on the upwind so on the next circuit I cut the throttle to come in for landing. She just gracefully floated on to the grass, no fuss, no drama - absolutely beautiful I had quite a crowd of spectators when I turned round - everyone remarked on how classy the model looked I hope my experience helps!!’ |
