Yes I did! It hit 94mph with the added drag of the GPS and Rubber Bands, AAANNND I wasn't pushing it too hard. Plus I think the GPS flipped up while flying. (cause It was being held on by two rubber bands.)
Wow! Cool!
You should get a video for us when you are really pouring on the coals!

I threw in the towel and just designed a very basic, VERY stout, and a little heavy, landing gear mount that i am using on the FT 72” C-47. It uses 10mm square carbon fiber tubing and 3mm(i think) CF rod for the axle. Haven‘t flown it yet but i am heading that very shortly. if anyone noticed i also moved the engines out a bit in order to clear the 10” props that they recommend with the C-pack radials. Anyhoo… wish me luck folks. I’ll let you know how it goes. PS i tried to upload the STL files and couldn’t figure it out. If anyone would like them, send me a message.

On May 24, my daughter's summer vacation starts, and we will go outside the city to live in the countryside. I wrapped my project with colored tape. I don't make copies of models.I create models for spiritual flights. I make color models to easily determine the position of the model in the air from a distance.

The flight weight with a 1500mA 3S battery is 740 grams.

I pull the tape over the bends + iron it with a model iron. I bought an iron for trips a long time ago and experimentally set the temperature: the tape is welded and does not melt.The adhesive tape after ironing makes the model very durable.I want to print out a beautiful girl and paste it on the fuselage (in the style of American pilots).
