CANARDMAN...

Nice plane you have there.
The H9 Planes are some quality birds!

You will enjoy the crap out of that plane.
What motor you have in there? 3W 100? ZDZ? I see 2 cylinders but just can't make it out.
Either way it should pull the snot out of that plane.

Good luck... check everything 2 times before the maiden, and remember to BREATH.

btw, did you buy it used?
No, I got it from a dude in Dallas, he wanted to get into helis. It was new in the box. I traded a Raptor 50 airframe for it even.

I think I got the better deal

BTW It has a Kroma 100 in it.
Flyinrazorback, Thanks for the offer. I am hounding Todd for setup info, as I work with him, he can't hide from me He has really been a great help.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. Do Kromas come unpainted or did you sand-blast it?

YEa!! Drop the info on the Kroma.

Is it a new one? I hear they dropped the red paint on the cylinders...
Let us know how it run!

Now that you said it, I can see the round cylinders... very cool.

Yeah, it came unpainted. As far as the #'s, I am quite excited to find out as well. It is supposed to be a powerhouse. I got it because I have a local rep, and all I have seen about them has been favorable.

Starting out with a 26X10 prop for break-in. Should have it ready by Christmas. I'll get some video to post of its performance.

Beautiful plane, Bud, if you're ever in the Abilene area we have a great R/C airstrip @ Seabee Park,(400 ft. concrete runway and lots of open grass area.) The Abilene R/C Society would treat you as an honored guest. Happy flying!
