@sulciphur It's pretty good. Not quite enough to go straight up without stalling, but plenty to feel fast. The plane is heavier than you'd think. In that small of space I was mainly between 50% and 75% throttle.
Most of the aerial shots seemed to be from a good altitude, but in the ground video you do a lot of close flybys. Was low-altitude onboard video just too fast to see much?
@sulciphur Yeah, I did a selection of the best shots from both the ground and air cameras. For the ground, it was the close in shots; it was the high altitude shots for the air.
Also, I was going to ask how the trust-to-weight ratio is. From the sounds of it, you rarely went to full throttle in this flight: true?
