Yep
Same batteries I use, had three at the start of the summer and they are all in good nick after some serious use.
Chuffed the maiden went well, spend time on getting it well dialled in and the RTH sorted before pushing it, MT still has my personal best for distance and has great manners which build confidence and air time.
Skyhunter, Drak, Mini Talon, Z3, Z2 and 250 Vortex. :overexcited:

Thx muts. Yep I intend getting things right before any shenanigans occur. But today even with a constantly dipping nose it was still flyable and glided into land from about 300m away. I think it was about a 25mph landing, no issues.

Awww. Tis but a mere scratch.....pretty sure when you examine it it will glue back again.....I think some steam from the electric kettle might help....That and some decent careful use of the Hotglue Gun.

  Did you loose Video before you had the model flying level and in RTH Mode?..,....I noticed you were a bit low and far out for 5.8G...she covers a lot of ground quick, unlike the old AXN...?

That#s just a flesh wound - glue her up :) Mine was worse than that when EzUHF stiffed me and it still flies spot on :D

Coyote

That's definitely a fixer'uper especially while you are learning how / what order to correctly set things up. Replacing it each times going to get very expensive very quick.

Bit of steam. Bit of glue she'll be reet ;)
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

FPVSteve

Yep - definitely a test bed, just enjoy flying it and learning off it. Rite of Passage for any new airframe :)

Get that 1.2 gear on it... won't run out of video range in a hurry lol

Jake Bullit

On no :( Is there a clue in the aileron angles?
