There will be several video cams at the maiden flight,,, Also I just installed an onboard high res camera system ,and mounted it at the top of the vertical fin just below the rudders counter balance. It should be a great view and include most of the wings. We will load up thie morning and head for IL.


Lateron, Jared Sisk

I think we're all excited! Kinda like the first shuttle launch for airplane junkies. Who is the pilot going to be anyway?

I am sure it is covered somewhere in the threads, but what's it got for servos and batteries? Surely not the toy airplane Fromeco's for this thing! Seriously, what's it packin' for control and energy?

I believe that John is going to be doing the maiden on her. From the one picture that I saw there were a bunch of Fromeco packs and about a mile of wiring (exxageration, but there was a lot).
