Chris Shaw in South Africa :-
“This is my F-35 that was finally maidened last weekend. It’s powered by A CS10 70mm fan, 2900kv motor and uses a 4s 2650mAh lipo.
AUW came in at 1kg and it hand-launched easily, even at our 5000 ft elevation.”

Great fun flyer and quickly becoming a go to favourite for 1st flight at the field to get into the swing of things before anything else more nerving 🙂 stall speed is very low as i have been testing haha. Amazingly stable platform for that fun easy fly.
