This is the second test run. Engine Starts easy with just on third hand flick always. Could not Maiden today as the throttle Servo failed me for the second time also. Now changed the servo to a new one.

Had gone on a Picnic Today did some slope soaring of Shikra. could keep the Shikra airborne for close to three hours  without opening throttle for even once all the time. Shikra came down with 1600 Mah Lipo at 65% capacity after all the time.



RPM came close to 13400 on a 7x5 prop. This one can easily touch 15000. Static Thrust was close to plus 600 gms. This one is going to be a rocket. Decided to change the Futaba R6004FF four channel Rx to a Futaba R617FS since with R6004FF will easily go out of range.

I can take off and fly well. Its landing which sucks :banghead::banghead:

This one was late in evening so apologies for poor light condition and video.

The stick did really well for the first flight. It was amazingly fast had a pretty tough time getting it down on the small ground due to high  tree line all around. was always running out of runway length. had to do a nose down hard landing. No damage though.



watch out for next video in good light condition with a better camera.

This model has been the favorite one till date. Flies agile like a combat glow engine model, tracks as if on rail, floats and glides smooth like a foamy glider in slow speed. All you need is football ground open space. Can be easily hand launched. Full tank 4 ounces runs for more than 15mins. Always now I land it dry tank dead stick.

Now so impressed with the engine went ahead and bought one more same engine AP YELLOW JACKET 0.15.  ;D

Not as an absolute novice trainer model since no dihedral but amazingly aerobatic surely as a second trainer for aerobatics defenitely.

This one has such a small flight envelop, crazy fun to do aero combat with visiting Eagles. You can do multiple circles  around the poor bird. After few minutes they all flee and abandon the feild.  :giggle:

In a second of loss of orientation when flying low and far with trees in background the model was totalled  :P . RIP. Though repairable, building a new one is in order. Now two similar ones are planned to be build for flying in formation with same identical engines.
