Precedent T180 - RC Model -- First Real Flight

My first try at flying after hours of practice on a flight sim called Aerofly.
It was well worth the effort!

hi i have just finished rebuilding my T180. I was wondering if u could tell me how big ur fuel tank is and how long does it last? i want a big fuel tank coz A) i have a 60 engine and B) got 3 onboard cameras. 1 rotates and 1 takes video and other does pictures. if u could let me know that would b gr8.

My fuel tank measures 115x60x60mm. That gives me about 25 mins flying time with my irvine 40 engine. Make sure the c of g is still ok with a full tank

Bravo, great flight.  I'm doing the same as you, hoping to be self taught via computer sim. Your success is encouraging. It's useful when people post these first flight videos.
