17 Jul 12 - I saw this model on the HobbyKing website and thought it looked cute. The scale detail is quite amazing, it really looks great even up close. They claim a flying weight of 95g and I guess that's supposed to include the 2 missiles. However, that is pure fiction as the model weighs 82.5g with the AR6300 RX installed and no missiles (an extra 1.3g). Even with the recommended 15C 450mAh battery the weight will be well above their claim. The thrust seems good though but I'm sure it'll need a decent launch.
