No plane yet, but have been looking at pics and info of the real one. Here's some facts off from Wikipedia you guys may find interesting if you haven't seen them.
One thing I found interesting was the power/mass ratio. Using my DA50, I'd have to have a weight of 24 lbs. for it to be close to the full size. WOW!
For a scale climb rate, it'd have to be around 1,233 ft./min. I don't ever climb for a minute, but figured in 20 sec. it'd be 411' if staying close to scale. With the power to weight ratio I hope to have, in 20 sec it will be pretty high up!
