Looks great Strix! This will probably be my next build since a friend of mine bought the Guinea Pig.

flew my Pun today for the first time.
used a emax 1806-2280kv w/ 6045R prop, 12A BLheli ESC, and a 2S-800mha. i had throws set to 16 and 12 degrees for dual rates with 30% expo. i do not have folding wings.
first 3 flights were very short. i had heard about the tendency to torque left and spin. it did this immediatly even with a slight right trim. ended with a thud but flew. 2nd try i went to 12 degrees throw on the dual rates and threw back into the wind. this was almost controllable but still ended quickly with a thud. 3rd was better, i actually had controlled flight and did almost 1 min before planting in a bush. 4th and 5th i dialed up the expo but kept the 12 degree throw and was able to fly. it was crazy, fast, and like a lawn dart, but flyable. 4th ended in the bush again, 5th was actually on the strip.
gonna adjust the dual rates based upon today and can't wait try again. i think this is gonna be a fun, hold my beer and watch this, i dont care if i crash, took 3hrs to build out of salvaged parts airplane. gotta love that.
laters,
