8 Dec 07 - I tested the motor earlier and wasn't overly impressed with the performance of the LiPo cells. I've some new packs on the way which are 500mAh and should hold their voltage better.
24 Nov 07 - New model completed; show horn required. This model really took my fancy at the last British Electric Flight Association Technical Workshop. The Radical RC range are imported to the UK by Micron Radio Control and they are extremely well designed kits with superb laser cutting of the parts. The model slots together like a jigsaw and a little cyano bonds it all together. The airframe is extremely light, and I covered it with SolarFilm Lite (aka So-Lite) to ensure t stayed that way. The Quick Wing 12mm actually feels quite heavy due to it's miniscule wing span, but the wing loading and wing cube loading are actually quite low. Fitting everything in the model is tricky due to the limited space; I fitted receiver partly in the wing to save having to move it out of the way to get the pack in.
