Plane is just about done!

My wife can finally have her dining room table back now that the majority of the work on the plane is done! Still have a little more work to do touching up the covering and putting on the canopy, but wife will cut that - I can't draw a straight line let alone cut one!

May I ask what your setup is...servos, motor, esc, lipo?

@3FLYTE @3FLYTE I have the .25 Rimfire motor and had an Electrifly 45 amp SS ESC (but that had problems when throttling up quickly so replaced it with a Hobby King 40amp plush ESC and have not had problems with it (you can also program this ESC). 11X8.5 APC electric prop, metal gear HiTech micro servos and I use 3S 3300mAh Turnigy batteries and flies great.

I actually just took it out this past weekend and flew it until I ran out of batteries. One thing that took some getting used it is it does not like to slow down on final and have done many go arounds getting the landing set up right. The wheel pants came loose and were rubbing and causing nose-overs so I removed them and not as pretty but an amazing difference in taxing, take offs and landings on grass. Definitely one of my favorite planes to fly!

Thanks Eric, as I said on my channel I appreciate the encouragement and hope to get more flying videos posted soon. I will definitely try to get the maiden on here, maybe next weekend if possible.

Thanks for the comment, I actually did make a video of the maiden flight and it is one of my best flying planes and favorites to fly. I have no complaints about the plane other than I wish I the wheel pants were done differently. They loosen over time and it is really better to fly them without them on but of course the plane does not look near as good without them. You can see the maiden flight on my page titled "Sportster Maiden" Thanks again!
