I think this sums up so much of what's wrong with everything these days.

You are provided information, and instead of looking for the good news, or even just hearing it for what it was, you took the the information, and portrayed it as a negative. An untrue negative at that. No one said DTFB was going away. But now someone will come along, and see your post, miss the follow up posts, refuse to listen to the source material, and there will be a rumor that FT is no longer using DTFB designs.

People are so eager to be wronged, and upset, they edit the information they're given, to fulfill that desire.

I just read this post and I am really sorry. I didnt mean it like that. I just meant that there was one direction that was amazing. I dont watn ft to become something closer to all the pnp manufacturers. I did not mean to be aggresive, and I am really sorry for everything. I misunderstood you.

Tested how long a 3s 1000mah lipo will last and got some more decals down.

I'm very curious to see how this one flies when it's all finished.
Loving the paint scheme, by the way.

@Tench745 I will be doing the maiden flight probably in May at our yearly slope soaring camp and fly event down in watsonville California. CG usually is never an issue on my scratch builds. It's always the throws that get you. There's no manual or no one else. That's flown it to tell you you have too much reflex or not enough or too much elevator or not enough. Fortunately it's a pretty gentle sloping hill with some bushes so not too big of a deal.
