Thanks Chris!

I love this thing! I only have 1 battery right now (need to get about 20), and I fly it, charge it, then immediately fly it again! I love it!

lol, don't get to much lipos or you can't stop flying anymore :-)

3D-Seth · 10-16-2009, 01:48 PM

Just flew it again

Can't get enough! 4 Flights on it so far, and starting to get real comfortable with it! Its extremely easy to get comfortable with!!!

Chris, job well done on this thing!

JVDO, I watched your video, and the 3D snap to hover thing inspired me to try a couple in my last flight. I've never really done them besides with foamies, and I did two, and then felt comfortable to bring it right on the deck. Plane does it easy shmeasy. Piece of cake! LOL

Now my battery is against the wingtube/phenolic, and that really livened this thing up!!

Low_N_Slow · 10-16-2009, 01:51 PM

Got my maiden done last weekend, then 4 more flights for a total of 5 flights so far

As I stated in an earlier post, I thought the plane came out tail heavy due to the bigger servos in the back, but after flying it I realize that I was wrong. I've been moving the CG farther back a little bit each flight. I started with the CG just about a "finger's width" behind the wing tube...and now I've got my battery a little over an inch aft of its initial location. The plane flies almost neutral now, but I still want to go back a little more.

My initial impression is that this plane is a lot of fun. Tumbles are insane

Still a bit squirley in the hover/TR department but that could just be a CG issue...or the fact that this isn't a 30+% plane. At my current CG, KE from right to left (using rt rudder) required just 2% up elevator mixing, while the other direction (using left rudder) required 6% up elevator. No aileron mix was required for KE.

Overall? Very happy

yeah, I felt the same after the first flights! When you fly this plane you really feel you can do everything. His mega throws also alow you to recover from every situation quite quick and good.

Chris really feels what we are looking for :-)

He does the snap to hover superb, I do it at full throttle and it's pretty impressive in real life, but as you know it's never as nice on a video...

My battery is also against the wingtube, perfect for 3D!

I can't wait to see a vid of the EXP in your hands!

Chris definitely knows what we're looking for, for sure!

I'll have to see if I can borrow a friends camera or something since my camera's quality sucks

. But once I do, I'll get some video!

BR289 · 10-16-2009, 03:13 PM

I just cant believe that...already! But I had lived up there long enough to know anything can happen as far as weather...

JVDO · 10-16-2009, 03:24 PM

I'm already hoping for good weather tomorrow...

Yea man it sucks!! Supposed to be 50s and 60s next week though!

Hey guys do any of your EXPs need right rudder doing Harriers or Elevators? Mine always wants to Yaw left.. I'm pretty sure it's normal and just something to get used to..

BR289 · 10-16-2009, 03:57 PM

Thats cool....its supossed to be a little warmer down here next week..I think the 70's!

danielph · 10-16-2009, 04:41 PM

Yeah, we had snow a couple days ago, and it's a pain to work in, and after working out in it for about 2 hours, I'm pretty sick, but I'll get this thing thrown together this weekend, and when it's together, the snow will be awesome!

Jens, awesome flying buddy! Excelent video too! Can't wait to see a video of you too Seth!

I'll have one as soon as I can. -this week has been very busy...
