Oh my! I just got one of these and came back from maiden just now. I bought the kit, a 3000kv blue wonder and 5x5 tgs prop. I'm running a 1300mAh 3s and a 20A ESC. I am more than impressed. I didn't find it hard to launch, although I can probably thank my flying wing for that. I flew on full throws at first, but it was waaay to much roll. I landed it and am now on 60% throws with 30% expo.
I don't have a speedo on my phone, but I'm looking forward to the next session with glydr! What an amazing plane.
My only issues have been with the canopy and the motor mount. With the canopy, my fit isn't as good as I've seen on others. Instead of keeping it stock, I chucked rare earth magnets on the fuse and the canopy to keep it on. With the motor mount, I didn't use the stick at all. I epoxied up the mount and stuck it in, and put screws through that were just a flush fit. I then epoxied the screws in. Ideally I would have used a nut and bolt system, but hey, being resourceful can get you in the air quicker.
I'm astounded at the speed of this thing. It also flies slow OK, but I did suffer some slight damage to the right aileron on a very standard, soft, skidding landing. I'll be reinforcing the control surfaces.
