Sabres and Migs and stuff

Sorry to revert the topic back to several posts ago, but I maidened my HK T45 this evening and I had to tell someone who might be interested

It went far better than I hoped - I'm flying on the stock 3S setup with the PNP ESC so I was expecting it to be underpowered but I managed 4 underarm launches with only one slightly tense moment due to throttle being on the low side. Landing was uneventful too once I'd got the hang of slowing her down. She does float well.

Babying the throttle gave me a good 4-5 mins on 2200mah, so again, better than I expected.

I've done a few mods - rudder & flapperons being the main ones. Both seem quite effective.

All in all, a very successful evening - much more entertaining than my beat up Riot. Can't stop grinning! If anyone out there is after a 1st edf, go for it - they're great fun.

It certainly does when you say it out loud - sorry about that :lol:

Congrats. on the maiden I'll be very interested to see it in action.

Dave, I've just started putting the Phazer together and noticed that the elevons foul on the fuselage when deflected down- did you have this problem? I'm going to have to cut a slice off the end of each elevon. Althought the hinges don't feel too stiff, I'm just debating whether to cut the hinge line and retape with Blenderm I can shift them outboard a bit then.

Mine only touch with loads of deflection, I'm counting on the fact we won't require any where near that much deflection.

Hope to be there tonight and on Saturday.
