Ok, this thread actually serves a purpose, as opposed to the last 1 I posted in
I bought myself a new toy a few weeks ago. No Giant but it sure is a 3D plane.
It is a Precision Aerobatics Bad Boy V2.
I previously had a V1 and had litterally flown it apart so it it was time for a replacement.
The "build" was a breeze. So lets get to the flight report
The setup is;
Engine: VMAX 52 2/s turning a 12.25x3.75 prop.
JR 577s on ailerons.
Hitec HS-645MGs on tail.
GWS Naro on throttle
Running 4.8v (for now)
The maiden was a no brainer. I took off at full throttle so the rollout took about 10 feet.. The plane actually started a very graceful right hand slow roll. I just lent on the left aileron till it was trimmed out and all was well. No elevator trim was needed.
Time to put her through her paces.
Rolls are nuts, just like the V1. Super quick and very axial. I did lose one aileron control horn on the maiden, it pulled out of the aileron. Purely my fault, a lack of glue.
Blender time. My favourite move of all and this plane excels at it. No throttle dive, full right aileron. Then rudder and elev. I centred the aileron stick adn it did a beautiful flatspin.
Harrier. I had all manner of trouble trying to harrier my V1 from level flight. The V2 is too easy. Cut the power and feed in the up untill she stalls and get some power on and she just locks in. Very impressive.
Maiden flight and it was time for a hover. A bit higher than usual for the obvious reason, it was the maiden flight. I pulled her up to vertical and pushed the power up until it was hovering. Very very stable. I noticed the engine sag slightly so it was time to get out of there. I pushed her level and flew out no worries.
Landing was a breeze, comes in so slow you think it is going to fall out of the sky, but it just keeps on floating.
Alot of people have had KE issues with the V2, mainly pitching. I dont know what they are doing because mine sits in a High Alpha Knife Edge like it is on rails, just need to lose some of the speed to stop it pitching.
The two other flights were done at a New years fun fly on Saturday in the late afternoon.
Hovering down on the deck now, and it is still as solid as a rock in a hover. it does insane pinwheels as well. I rotated so fast on one I alsmost did two 
This thing is awesome to fly and I cant wait to get her back at my usual club where I am more comfortable so I can really wring her out.
Now I need to save for that Precision Aerobatics 35% Extra
