Overall. Its a nice model, CofG seems correct and response is reasonable if not a little slower than i expected.
Need to get it back into the air on a calmer day for a better appreciation.
Had my second attempt at the Meteor this arvo. 2 flights both on 4S 3300 nano.
I reduced the elevator throw (everyone mods it for more) and gave it 40% expo. Also gave the rudder some more authority.
Sooooo much nicer, windy conditions to last time but a different plane to different plane to fly this time.
Its quite slippery and doesn't slow down well, so you need to allow for the momentum it carries, but others, did some very low full throttle inverted passes with ease, stall turns, flick rolls, spin(piss weak but winds up really well) & knife edge passes. ]
As Kieren has noted, it's not real fast but has plenty of thrust for for vertical or whatever you want.
Landings from a "jet circuit" are simple and can be flown with virtually now power to touch down with ease.
Had the nose wheel come loose on the final landing but otherwise incident or hassle free
Great cheap plane for fun.
