bought myself something to try out here on Ft leonard wood missouri, since I'm in tech training here for the air force i needed something to do.

when i got it it had about a 250 class motor (i think) and it was very underpowered, it also had a 9x6 prop and a 40amp e-flight pro brushless esc. so the motor burnt but even so the plane flew pretty well besides being really underpowered. I'm gonna be putting a 400 class 2215/10 in her to handle the esc and prop and it will be trial and error haha but it'll be fun.

here are some pics!

Looks beautiful on the ground! Really nice presence!

i thought so it looks even more impressive in person. with the new motor I'm gonna try to put a camera on it somewhere

I guess it would look cool filmed from behind the wing to add some perspective

yea i was planning on mounting the cam just behind or in the rear of the cockpit, just high enough to see over the windshield so you can see some wing and struts

Exactly my point!

Yup. 9x6 on a 250 is why the motor fried.
Now, you know darned well that you aren't going to pull the electronics out this plane to put on the wing. Start buttering Krista up ASAP!
