If you ever do, there's now awesome plans by @Grifflyer, and it's my bad for not having released them yet, due to like I said above, some stressful stuff going on the past week. I'll get on making that resource, but in the mean time, just hit me or @Grifflyer up in PM and we can give you the plans any time

Sounds awesome. Thanks!

It’s not a challenge but I highly recommend you build one I am sure you’ll like it.
Thanks!
Man it was my pleasure to fly it. It handles great, rolls like crazy and generally was a super fun experience. Taking that no damage was done to it, it will fly again soon. BTW also my son was flying it and enjoyed it very much, especially making me stressed to make sure he doesn’t crash it
. No worries about when you watched the video buddy, I knew you’d find it and enjoy it at some point happy it lightened up your day a bit.Hi @mayan , I just caught up with this thread. It is good to see your son with you and flying. I did see a little of the knife edge. I have been told that we don't crash, we just have hard landings

Yesterday was a treasured day, it was a prefect day to fly in, with 0 wind. I should have flown my new 3mm FB Easy Edge but haven’t finished adding the electronics to it. Instead I flew the Arrowhead and Spitfire and had a great time. Here are the videos from yesterday.
Flying the Arrowhead with a few suggestions to @Vimana89 and @Grifflyer for a next version.
Flying the Spitfire as hard as I could dedicated to @The Hangar.

Great flying! 4ch with full rudder is something that will be coming soon, I agree it will give so much more capability. I have an opening in mine for air cooling, in fact the top where the battery goes in at the front is just open. I'm not sure anything like that is on the plan, but it is easy enough to add some air flow. Great suggestions, and technical troubles happen, you still flew well and kept the plane in focus.

It looks like you are getting really close to getting that knife edge. You are looking like you have been flying for years. You scared me when your face popped into the screen.

I love the low pass at 1:10
OH YEAH man!! You OWNED those inverted passes!!
I don’t have time right now to finish watching the video (I stopped where you to hover) I wanted you to know I’ve seen part of it and you were really doing great on the “fly as hard as you can” challenge! Keep it up man! 👍
I watched the rest of your vid! On my c pack and 10x4.7 prop I have unlimited vertical on my planes (except the ft edge). I really think you would like the ft-3D - it’s my 3d trainer and it can do all sorts of aerobatics well and is super easy to fly. I’m eager to see the EAF fly hard for sure! Keep up the good work man!
Oh, and I wan to add that my spitfire with tons of throws can hardly hold a knife edge in max rates at full throttle. Just FYI

Today was probably one of the best days I've had at the field in a very long time. I had my friend from work tag a long. I had the Easy Edge which broke after a quick run, the spitfire with my new on board camera on it flying great, and the TT with bomb drops. The day was EPIC!
I started of by crashing the Easy Edge so hard that I broke the 3d printed PLA firewall under less then a mintue of flight, ouch! Next I pulled out and did an amazing flight with the Spitfire and the on board camera, pluse 2 other that were pointed at me, one from a tripod and one was held by my friend. I did nice slow low passes, rolls, and inverted flights. I chose 3 different camera positions out of the 6 I marked but ended up liking two more than the others.
Next I pulled out the TT and did some bomb streamer drops trying to mimic Flitetest's pumkin drop episode and added a praturper just for extra fun. The extra load made the plane heavy and hard to controll but I managed to eventually gain altitude and enter a some what safer zone. Then I did it, I made the drop, and it was EPIC, at least to me it was, did it once more and called it a day for that.
By now my friend left so I flew another battery on the Spitfire with the other two camera positions and called it a day after the firewall broke off the power pod the second time. Video is going to be edited soon but propally not finished today.

Spitfire video is still being editted so I'll post a video of that when it's ready.

Very cool except trying to catch the plane, you are going to get one of your body parts stuck in the propeller , they cut really good to.

You are right, it’s better not take that risk.
