where did you get that spiffy wooden balancin mochine! It says Great Planes on it but can't find it listed anywhere. Did it come in the kit?

Radioactive · 04-27-2008, 07:17 AM

The balancer is supplied by great planes.. comes in the kit, another example of Great Planes stepping up, and providing everything!

Just another happy owner. Cuts the wind like it's not there. I was hoping for something a little slower, but I'm not sorry. Makes a nice big brother to the GP Riot.

Gpenner, This baby is so sweet, we flew our's at SEEF, and it was pure fun!.. Our's slows right down, and actually we're doing some harriers into the wind, it was really good, did have some rocking though, however it was very manageable.
The gentle beast could do some wicked tumbles as you can wrap her up very quickly, if you're into 3D. I love'd the power to weight ratio, and the vertical it had on the Electrifly RimFire motor/ESC combo; overall this model is first class, and a huge departure from the norm for GP. They have some very cool stuff coming, we got some good video, and will work on getting them up this weekend..
Enjoy the Bipe, and fly the "Stew" out of it!!!

nice plane...beautiful covering for an arf.....gotta get one.....

Yes sir, i especially like the Scheme! It looks so good , and is very visible in the air. It's really neat, that once she's built, that's it.. leave her in the car, or trunk, and catch a lunchtime flight, any free time. Really nice to not have to build/assembly each and everytime you wish to fly. We'd love to fly a bigger one! By the way, if you like blinding roll rates, go ahead and dial up max thrws, and you'll be in for a huge surprise!!

..Oh and another comment, you can actually get her to climb vertical in a flat spin... just a ton of fun !!

gpenner · 05-12-2008, 08:38 AM

I'd like to qualify my speed comment. The plain is not suitable to fly in my front yard, but does work. It will "Elevator" down and then "Harrier/Hover" to just where you want it. One flight was mistakenly on full rates with no expo... something that made me think I was on my first flight ever.

Again. The plane is not the usual for a big bird web site, but if you're looking for a great small bird, this is it. My flying is not great, but diversified, from 3.5 grams to 38 pounds with some heli inbetween. This is just another great addition.

Thanks for posting the review.

Gpenner, yes i would Ditto that, it's a bit big for front yard,boy it sure is a sweetheart though!

I think this may be true if Stephen is on the sticks and Don is standing next to him telling him to turn up the rates.

Don is know for flying on low rates.

Just kidding D!!!!
