Windy day flying over Portland and Kennebunkport
First day flying and what I learned about launching it:
My best video with this plane, if you are going to watch any of these vids watch this one:
I got this plane as a replacement for my Bixler. Even though it looks similar to the Bix it flies quite differently. It has a thinner wing so it flies faster, stalls at a higher speed and generally a bit more challenging to fly well. However once you get the hang of it, it is great. At launch you really have to throw it hard or chuck it off a hill to get it air borne.
A lot of people modify this plane with a bigger motor and esc or bigger wings but I thought it was pretty good in stock condition as long as the esc gets enough cooling.
I eventually crashed it while doing a low high speed pass, lost perspective in the turn out and took a digger. Anyone have a spare Raptor wing laying around?? I'd like to get it flying again. Zoom ON!
