Maiden flight, FT Mini F-22!

Yup, finally got to fly it. Didn't have anyone to video. Here's some night pics I took the day before.



And a picture to prove I was able to "stick" the first landing. 😂

The lights were from Flitetest. There's a guy on eBay called TrasMaTech that sells a $5 gadget to run leds that I keep meaning to buy. It's just the board, you supply the leds, but it makes them blink and stuff. You might check it out.

Yup. It was actually about a 5' tree, lol. I went out and flew again tonight, still need to turn stuff down more.

I had my Aura lite up and running, but, it didn't seem to work as well as on my Mini Guinea. I probably didn't set it up right.

Update; I ordered the boards from TrasMaTech. I'll put up a post on the Forums with how I like them.
