First Flight >:D : Had both dual throws on the Futaba 6ex .... Even on low throws the plane was very trippy.. needed very little adjustment as far as the trims were concerned.... landed the plane and adjusted the throws again.... this time arround the throws were excellent and the plane flew like a baby... it was a bit windy so could not get the best flight... On the landing the gear came off, but I had already expected that as everyone in the review regarding this plane had mentioned the same.... I have reinforced the same now hopefully it should stay on the next time that I land.... the motor was extremely powerful was capable of taking the plane vertical endlessly... was flying the plane at less than 50% throttle.... dont have the video yet will get it soon for you guys .... but here are some pics for all of us to have a look at.......

Great going Divay! It looks like and excellent bird! Take off was amazing and you seem to have a great reflex!
Was the frame rate high in your video ?  Landing was just too fast for a safe one, but the plane was in all one piece ...

@ Ujjwaana... Thank you...no the frame rate was normal.... I have put a motor which is twice as powered as the recomended one... so the plane can literally take off from less than a feet... yes the landing was a bit fast, as the plane has a tendedency to stall at a lower speed, I have put gears (self made) which have shock absorbers so no matter the speed as long as the landing comes on the belly there is no damage sustained by the plane..... Thank you for watching the video !!

@Saurabh .. Thank you buddy.... the video needed to be edited as I dont have that great a camcoder and thus the plane bieng small and the skies grey these days the camera was not able to catch the vidoe thus have edited to show only parts where the plane was in close proximity and visible..... Thank you for watching the video !!
