If you want more power, put a 200 in it with cans, you'll be fine!

I want to be able to hover and torque roll, 200 it is.

Bill, Eli its awsome to watch you guys fly. A few of us started to fly less than 2 years ago. We watched Eli fly at our field the first year and were in awe. We watched him fly last year and began to talk to him and got him to come back a 3rd time. We have now been inspired to learn to fly as good or better that you (not that it will happen). Reason I am saying this is that the videos and the performances you display truly are not only a show for some but a real inspiration for us to try and become as good. Marciano has without a doubt fallen into e"s shoes at our field and has excelled beyond anyone’s imagination. We are the next ones. Eli we will have made you proud when you return to Cape Cod I promise! Keep up the inspiration.

did i just hijack this thread? sorry lol

Hello everyone!

China is back from their new year celibration and the production line is in full swing. I got a couple of teaser pictures from them so I thought I would share them. Latest news is that the planes should ship around Mid March (maybe sooner;2-3 weeks from now). This is their "best guess" so I think we are all doing pretty good for the NAll.

For those of you who are INTERNATIONAL customers, your planes will ship about 1 week sooner. Extra owners will also benifit from this as their planes will ship at the same time (1-week earlier). For us US guys, it looks like I could get the container around the 1st to 2nd week of April. Keep your figures crossed. China is aware of our big meet at the NAll and are working hard to get your planes to you!

Just a couple of pictures:

That will leave me about 2 weeks to assemble and get the plane inspected.
