What an awesome machine, took it up for maiden today, absolutely flawless, except for losing a canopy release.
Thanks for all the help Freakers.

It will sure pucker up your gonads!!

lol, yes, pucker factor extremely high. Stunt 1 is 2100 headspead, very fast, responsive, absolutely zero bog and I haven't even tried the governor yet, S2 is 2300, insanely quick and also absolutely zero bog, I need a prog disc I guess to access governor programs. Thought I could do that with a regular usb cable.
On bench testing I was worried about motor temp, it came up to 160f very quickly under no load, but I've had it up a couple times now and that just seems to be that motor's normal operating temp. Kinda eerie how quiet it is, most of the ones I've seen on youtube make quite a racket.
Gonna break down and get one of those gopro cams, I want a video record of it before I break it.

After another few flights don't forget to re-tighten the motor belt. Congrats on the maiden.

Thanks, and yeah, I'm keeping an eye on everything in this thing. After three years of flying Blade Disposables I keep looking for something to break in mid flight. Four packs through it now and it just seems to be getting smoother, nothing loosening, so far so good. Maybe you really do get what you pay for.
