Default We are Getting Straight A's and Flying a VAPOR in the House

Hey Guys Twizlair here for the Fly4food boys,
The boys go to a really tough private school. I made a deal with them that they could have and fly a VAPOR in the house if they kept their grades at least at A's.
Well we got the VAPOR and started flying the RF board had some issues so flying has been off for the past three weeks while Horizon was fixing it. Well Today the new board arrived and the Grades are above 90% in fact after a little catch-up work both boys are straight "A's" across the board. The youngest 6 years old wanted to make a video to say thanks to Horizon for fixing his plane.
Well here it is 6 years old and flying in the living room. The 8 year old has to wait until homework is done to fly!
Thanks Horizon your motivation is helping keep the grades up.

Nice. Those Vapors are the coolest things. Those grades are good, too.

Vapor's are a blast to fly, try putting a couple of small LED's under the main wing and fly them in the dark. You can get small 2V led's at radio shack.

Good job flying. They are small and do fly well, but you still need some skilz not to hit anything in that small of an area. Mine is coming early next week. We are gonna do some indoor pylon racing with them. We flew some this weekend, had four going at one time, here is a little vid I made, if you are interested.

We did pylon racing with the Cessnas last year. I think this year we are going to do a pursuit race. Should be fun.
