I had another three flights today.
It flys better than the 80cm Index3. It weights 145g, up 40g or 40%. This puts a lot more strain on the U/C. The Axi is very smooth compared to the Turnagy and at 7 times the price you would want it too!
The flat prop blades feel very inefficient. I really need some new battery's to get reverse really working.
I will bring it down Saturday morning.

I was looking forward to being entertained by huge ungainly machines, wobbling about in the breeze and clapping hands as they attempt to come out of a gentle dive. Could have sold tickets to that one!
