A bit windy for most of the trimming checks but all seems very close. Got three flights in, enough to be very happy. Even with a 30x12 2 blader down line are nice and slow, the new 150 on K&s rear exit cans pull it around fine , its only going to get better . Snaps keep very straight even when buried right in. Over all a very solid flying ship that looks great in the sky. K/e has little to no coupling. Will be trying to get out as much as i can this week to get the JR 12 X dialed in and play with some tail weights. At the moment the C of G is about 1" infront of QQ fwd C of G. The power Box Royal showed 100% on both RXs and no rx switching , with max of 6.5 amp draw off both packs. All looks good! Oh yeh i forgot to thank the other pit crew who dropped every thing to come around home and help me balance and weigh the beast

Nice work Talbs, great to see another success story. Looking forward to seeing it at the next comp.

Talbs, that looks great!! Cant wait to get mine going.
I am hoping with the 157 up front it will go a bit faster uphill than the super extra go's.

How do you find the models speed compared to the super extra and the wild hare? It looks like it should be quicker through the air.

A bit more drag, nice and slow on the down lines still seems to go great up as well . very similar to the wild hare, but slower on the downs. I was surprised how well a non run in 150 was pulling it around so your run in 157 will work well.

Thanks for the comments guys, i'm really happy with the way it has turned out, got tues-fri off so hope to get it trimmed out, 12x dialled and get some fuel through the 150.
Benny yours might turn out lighter as ive put max servos and bling crap in mine that might add a little.

So TD are you going to buy one of those nice looking planes.............I wouldnt mind except I would have to iron the bldy thing all the time....love the QQ yaks but the ironing can be annoying....

I guess if you got one you would put your 170 in it and upgrade your current plane to a 210

Benny arent you going 170?

i got the real 3w yak rob..

got my unbreakable extra from hobby city today. after an hour and a bit all i have left to is install the motor and control rods, then see how unbreakable it really is.
for $35us it's pretty good value.
