High Rate 100% both ways 60% expo

* the Ailerons are incredibly visious on high rate. it almost turns as fast the the prop is spinning.

also don't stand too close to the rudder on high rate - IT WILL KILL YOU!!! (when using a 8711)

How did your CG work out?

Does anyone sell spare parts for this one?
My canopy blew off duting a higs-speed pass, and damaged my left elevator beyond repair. Managed to get the plane safely on the ground, so I just need the canopy and elevator...

Great video. Sure looks like she flies straight to me.
Hey, would you be willing to post some pics and perhaps the vid in the Pilot-RC plane repository?
http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/f...post-pics.html

I, like all the other Pilot owners love my plane. But I really enjoy seeing others' planes and setups.

I couldn't get hold of a video camera but there was someone at the field with one but he was struggling with the focus. he got part of the take off and the landing.
when on the landing pattern once you bring the throttle to idle on finals, its almost like hitting the brakes - it slows down very quickly

My thoughts: FANTASTIC

now I have to wait another week for next sunday...
I'm looking at buying the Extra 300, but am concerned about the weight. The ads all say the plane weighs 17.8lbs, but M64 said his weighed 15.5lbs which is great. What are the rest of you seeing for weight?
