Howdy people

I had had my eye on this plane from the moment it was launched, but it was a bit on the expensive side for my budget..
Soooo when it was included in one of HK's sales, I had to pick one up

The assembly of this plane is not something for first time builders, but it looks like I managed to make it into something that actually flies

Here is a video of my maiden flight with it

Wingspan: 1480mm
Length: 877mm
Weight: 700g
Motor: 3045 1080kv Brushless Inrunner

McDonald's wifi won't let me watch this, but I will when I get home!

I did me another flight with the Athena today (and didn't forget to take my camera this time )
Quite a bit of wind, but well.. that only makes take-off & landing easier
