Well I just finished my 3rd official unofficial flight. 6min 31secs. Full flight time on my old 800mah battery. My plane was built with WAY too much glue and a motor thats twice as heavy than what's recommended. It's a perfect day for flying so I'm prepping all my batteries now to continue on. My batteries are 9-13yrs old so probably not up to current specs. New batteries will be herr tomorrow so ill ser if i can get a longer pull. Even with l the xtra weight that little plane floats along nicely. I'm back in the skies again!!!😁
Yes, yes, YES! Booyah! I get excited every single time somebody flies the Challenge. Why not? It's fun!!

OK. Too much glue (I 'might' be familiar with that, or no, I know this guy who...) OK. Yes. Yes I am familiar with that.

A motor that's twice as heavy as recommended and we'll call them 11-year old batteries. Whew! I can't believe that thing flew at all!

Plus, you flew it for
Six Minutes and Thirty-One Seconds!
Ladies and Gentleman! I present you with.... The Updated LeaderBoard!!
Two minutes, then twelve seconds, then six and a half minutes? What the heck??!! Maybe more glue, overweight components and worn-out, under-spec batteries are the way to go!


That's an incredible improvement! Thank you
