Rudder Pull Pull

All hardware are stock, and they work really well. The pic of the tail is before I crimp it down, so don't worry folks . There's even a slot for the pull pull cable to come out from. How cool is that.

Looks great Josh!! I can attest to everything stated here in this thread as I have been giving the opportunity myself to fly a pre-production 55" SHP. I have to say that this plane will set the standard for all future 40 sized electric airplanes. Mine comes in at a RTF weight of 4lbs. 14oz. This is using the stock setup that will be recommended on 3D Hobby Shop's website(except the battery packs).

Setup:

Torque Revolution 4014-570 (Rated up to 1500W)
Airboss Elite 80A ESC
MaxAmps 5s 4000mah HV
(5) HS-225MG servos
APC 15 x 6E ( I am also testing Xoar props as well)

This plane has an incredible pitch rate, more than I have ever experienced on a plane in this size category. But the AWESOME pitch rate can be easily tamed with some higher expo settings than you may be use to. This plane will ACCELERATE on a vertical upline till it is just a speck in the sky. Then you can bring it down in a FULL THROTTLE downline into one of the wickedest blenders you have ever seen. Try that with your average sports model and you will be picking up pieces. Every done zero altitude loss waterfalls? This plane can do'em. SWEEEET!!

Hey Max are you planning on coming to the Thistledowns event in Napoleon, OH this year? If so I am planning on bring it with my 3D Hobby Shop (beta) 85" Extra 260 (electric powered of course) to the event. You are more than welcomed to try your hands at it. As a matter of fact anyone that attends the Thisledowns event this year can have a crack at it.

Josh I look forward to tracking your progress on this fantastic new 3D Hobby Shop plane.

Tim

BTW - Here is a little video of me flying my 55" SHP on its third flight

Ok, got my first couple of flights, and I love it! It tumbles better than any plane I've ever own, and it tracks superbly also to boot. Coupling in KE is also neglible and harriers are super stable.

Here's a quick vid of me goofing around with my SHP
