   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.
