Well, after a few weeks the fleet is ready to take to the sky's. On the next sunny day I will throw them all. Hopefully successful maidens all around. I hope to post videos too.

The maidens.
1) 40mm edf mirage 2000 did not make it. It was pilot error. To much control surfaces and I wasn't ready. Minimal damage. I will fix iy and try again.
2) 64mm edf mirage 2090 was a success!! What a friggin rocket!!! Oh my god!!! Was a bit nose heavy and hard to trim at first. Second flight was better with battery moved back and trim fixed.
3) twin 50mm edf F-15 took a nose dive. I didn't throw it hard enough. I will put 64mm wheels on and try again. Damage is minimal
I'll post vids tonight when I can upload them properly.
Also, I'm extremely happy I got 1 out of 3 success. The speed of the Mirage 2000 was exhilarating!!!
Link are here... enjoy and Crank up the volume for video 2 to hear the screamin' edf

Nice! just to see them work is exciting, to have it work so well pumps the adrenaline

That 2000 looked like it was ripping!! I think if you were to launch the F-15 like a flying wing you could have gotten a faster launch.

Awsome...i'd like to see some pics of the insides. Also, you could put gear on it or you could Velcro a hook on the bottom and use a bungi launcher. I've use the bungee on my goblin and versa wing. Takes a lot of the stress out of launching them. It was Hai-Lee's idea and now I'm a fan.

Look for my thread about Mirage 2000's. I put lots of pics. If you want more I got them.
Also, I'm going to post more videos of the Mirage 2000 flying and some low passes. The camera man was an old retired guy who has issue with today's tech...
And, I just cut the 2 x 50mm edf's out of the F15 and am installing 2 x 64mm EDF's 3s FMS

The 2 x 50's are out and the 2 x 64's are in. Cape off the back top and bottom and fix the nose. Gotta cut them thrust tubes down about 2.5 inches as well. Then patiently wait for landing gear from AliExpress. Tick tock Ho hum

Repairs and upgrades are done. Maybe tomorrow I'll try again at a maiden of the ground this time.
