That's going to look (and sound) impressive in the air Ingo!

Very Nice, Multiplex are a good Maker of Planes, So it should go very well.
Was it a PNP or did you have to install your own motors esc etc ?
Does it have landing Gear or is it a Grenade Launcher ?

What Do You Mean Theres a Throttle Curve ?, Its Either all the way up or all the way down Tongue_smile

Hi Steve,

It was a PNP kit with brushed motors.

I replaced the motors with towerpro 2409-12T brusheless can type

The ESC were tunigy 30A x2

A lot of extra wiring had to be made Y cables for power & servos -all this is in the wings - a nightmare to take apart - shall leave the wing on!

It is a grenade launcher - I was thinking of undercarriage?

My friend has one & he states that it flies extremely well.

Good on you Ingo. I knew that with your insistence you'd be flying this one soon.
Was hoping to be able to have a fly tomorrow morning but Steve Murray's message ealier today has put stop to that...too much water!!
Hoping that I shall be able to fly on Saturday since on Sunday I am proposing to go to Blacktown. Obviously if the weather does not go crazy again.

I've read a few reviews today Ingo - as I suppose you have already ... it has apparently excellent handling characteristics over a wide range of airspeeds. It makes a reasonably good platform for photography and FPV too.
Looking forward to seeing it go.
