[g4uvz]

Had my first flight with the X8 under Eagletree Vector Control ..all went very well from a hand launch.
X8 weighs in at just under 2.5 Kg
•   4 Cell 4500 battery
•   790KV motor with 12.5 x 6.5 folding prop
•   EZUHF radio link with horizontal dipole and vertical monopole
•   600mW Immersion Vidio link
•   Vector OSD / stabilisation
•   60A esc with separate bec
•   Body shell reinforced with glass cloth
Maximum current draw was 40A during a 1200 foot per minute climb out.
Landing was so slow that I could have almost caught it!
More testing tomorrow!
