We test flew Wingtippers super and cheaper MX2 on Saturday.
It flew realy well, required only 3 clicks of trim, 1 of right aileron and two of up elevator.
This model certainly wasn't under powered and when the nose was pointed straight up and shortly after the throttle opened wide, it accelerated vertically upwards with impressive rapidity. I'm sure it's more lively to fly than my edge 540, it certainly comes alive when you open it up some!! The roll rate was rather brisk on full rates, tho' the good deal of expo that frank had dialed in on the radio tamed it quite nicely about the center stick position. The next time I pointed it verticle I gave it some aileron and it rolled so axially and tracked so straight, I was super impressed. It really does go where you point it Large loops looked good as the MX2 never waivered, it just grooved around like it was on rails. A couple of stall turns were quite easy to pull of nicely with the help of a massive rudder and a knife edge pass showed it had almost no coupling at all. during inverted flight it desplayed the slightest tendancey to drop the nose, the C of G can go back about 2mm I reckon and it will be perfict
Even the grey sky, that was drizzleing on us from time to time didn't dampen my entheausism for this beautifuly flying model. MATE YOU'VE GOT A KEEPER THERE !! I really enjoyed flying it and I'm sure you'll get heaps of enjoyment out of it !!
