This plane is a beauty and after flying the Easy cub and Now the Twin star I am truly a Multiplex Fan in every way .
2 sorties of 20 min each reduced the individual cell voltage from 4.07 to 3.72 , I am sure the plane could have flown for easily another 40 mins on the same battery pack.
This plane requires a lot of landing room as its glide is so good that it just wants to remain afloat unless you delibrately make an attempt to land it .
All this does not make it a lazy plane to fly , put it thru Rolls , Loops etc and it passed these with flying colors as you will see in the Video
Here are some Photos will post the Video Tomorrow.
The Funniest is the relaxed way in which Venkat was piloting the plane during its long sorties ;D ;D the chappal was the antenna stand to keep it of the ground
