CCRCS - C310 Maiden

This is my Top Flite Cessna 310 maiden flight. Powered by 2 OS .55 AX glow engines, 8 servos, JR 9303 2.4 transmitter, total weight 18.5lbs., fixed gear, Twinsync, with on board glow drivers but the glow drivers were not used on this flight due to problem with one of the glow drivers. This airplane is not terribly difficult to fly as long as BOTH of your engines are reliable, I figured it would be fairly fast but I was surprised at just how fast it was, most of the flight was at 5/8 throttle. For this flight both of my engines performed flawlessly, I spent a lot of time breaking in the engines and making sure they were properly tuned before this flight.

DO the 55's overpower it too much? I'm if I shuld use 55's, 50's or 46(is). I guess you could alway fly at lower throttle or the 55 'll allow you to use a more scale 3blade prop and keep the same speed and power as the 46 with a 2blade would. You looked like a rocket on takeoff, great video man!

@jesknow The 55's are very capable but I would not consider them over powered. I'm running TF 12x6 props at 11,600 RPM WOT. When the wind is light this thing is very fast, but get a little head wind and it slows down to very scale like speed. The 55's are awesome engines and a nice match for this model.
