   Patrick Klauke – 20th June 2020

   The building process is straight forward and well described if you have a little bit of experience.
   Today I finished the build-stage including rough sanding.
   I went to our local field and tried a pre-maiden, because I would not invest further time (minwax, paint, decals) before I get results.

   It flew awesome. Straight out of the hand, no bad tendencies, the CG is correct -awesome !!!!!!!!.

   I used the standard setup (2200kv Motor, 40A ESC, 2200Ah 3S Lipo). Due to the wind I missed a gyro, but it is absolut NOT necessary.
   Maybe it was, because I build as light as possible, under 500g
   NOW i will do the paint job.

   Thank you for your work and enthusiasm and the „small“ fee, so I can try a model without ruin my treasury.
   Your models are outstanding, well I know only this one.
   Lets see what I try next…..

   F-18 Hornet
   VFA-122 Dessert Bogey Camo scheme
   AUW without battery 780g,
   all 3D parts used with LW-PLA and fantastic clear Canopy with crazy little pilot inside,
   6mm balsa leading edge strips on the wings only
   QX-Motor 70mm 6 blade EDF – 2300kV i think
   Beatles 50amp ESC – 60 would be better
   4x MG Tower pro MG servo’s (original)
   Flysky i6 receiver
   4s Zippy 2700mAh but can take larger with the space available
   86mph recorded on GPS in cockpit during flight
   Flying on 58mm CG very well with neutral flight controls
   13mm +/- on Aileron travel max and rolls like a drill
   24mm +/- on Elevator – add expo
   very stable aircraft and no requirement for Gyro

   It’s a great flyer. I built it using PLA instead of LW-PLA which made it a bit heavy but it still flies great.
   I used:
   -FMS EDF 64mm 3900kv for 3S (even though it is only 3S it was able to fly pretty fast but it wont break any speed records)
   -RTF weight is 915 grams (without lipo 740g)
   -ESC Hobbywing Skywalker 50A
   -Soaring Lipo 3S 2200mah with 30C

   I think this is awesome Aircraft that is easy to build and easy to fly.
