31 May 09 - First flight completed on a 2S 500mAh Loong Max (20C) LiPo. It flew OK but really needs power as near full throttle was required to keep it flying, but an 11 minute flight was achieved. The 3S 500mAh packs I've got on the way should improve it massively.
30 May 09 - I bought this a while ago on eBay but only just got around to building it. Having built it stock the CofG position was a long way forwards and I had to move the battery back to almost in front of the wing. Unfortunately that meant moving the RX too which was far more annoying.
