12:15 to 13:15 -- 45 second power off glide? Excellent stable trainer.
14:15-14:35 -- I was hoping to hear some high speed high fives with those branches!
11:30-19:00 -- 7.5 minute mixed flight... who still says scale EDFs only fly 2 minutes?
Hats off to Patrick for his sharp flying, and again to Tony and Evelyn for the inspirational P-80/T-33 tour back in 2016 all the way to references last year. Finally, a week from shipping to everyone's hangars!Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Just want to see how high that is to see if my batteries will fit ok. On some models I have had to trim some of the foam off said canopy front tab.
Thank you. I have the Venom to and it flies like its on rails, so if this is the same then count me in.

Add to it that our field is a fish bowl you have to power up and out more often than most fields. People are going to stretch these numbers much higher. We didn't get to try a lighter 4000 either, excited to get back out with one of those as wellLauren

I usually don't put stabilizers in my 80 and 90mm EDFs, but it looked like in the video, with the crosswind, that the lightly wing-loaded T-33 would benefit from having a stabilizer. So, I'll probably put one in mine. I figure that there's no need to fight the wind, if I don't have to. :-)---

No need to worry about that now with the Blue Angels using the T-33 from 52-54. It looks like the gear is even MORE suitable for grass ops than the L-39 too.
Ya swung me back Alpha, back to the dark side of half the flight times of the prop jobs again.
