Great Planes Escapade Maiden Flight

My friend Harrison maidens his new Great Planes Escapade on a windy day at Space City RC.

The aircraft is powered by a Saito .82 with a 13X8 prop. The model has JR radio gear.

@turqee - Have you flown yours yet? What motor are you using?

I recently acquired this aircraft from my friend on a trade.

I haven't flown it yet but I have seen it fly. It a a rocket with that Saito .82

Good video, I think I heard Finnis Hopson laughing in the background.

@modykhan1805 - You are correct, Finnis flew the maiden with Harrison - distinctive laugh for sure.

The Escapade is one quick and agile little plane.

@chrisfev01 Would a saito fa50 fly this plane ok?

[chrisfev01]

@wrdude - I think the Saito .50 would have plenty of power for the Escapade. My buddy put the .82 in the Escapade because he just happened to have one on the shelf. The aircraft has unlimited vertical and gobs of power. I think the Saito .50 might actually be a better choice.

@chrisfev01, I flew Finnis's 60 size trainer at the start of 2008, I moved away and joined the other club. Finnis is a great guy, he let me fly couple of times as guest. If you ever meet him, say Mody said Hello. Thanks.
