Here she is post maiden

[Aros]

Yep! If you ain't a little nervous there's something wrong with you!! LOL!

[rifleman_btx]

Oh I tell ya, inside I was still freaking out lol

[Aros]

Nice job! I always have a Pucker Factor whenever I fly mine, lol.

Here's my flight from yesterday.

Nice flight and great landing. Seems like you got it dialed in! Always love the Arctic Aggressor scheme, even in sunny Texas!

[DCORSAIR]

Ah, that was you? Yeah all because I tried to fit my pilot head turn lead into the stuffed receiver...A pop! Then that dreaded electrical smoke smell and that was all she wrote. Thanks again for yours...Serious good karma points on your part! I hope to maiden soon finally!

Yes it was me, just helping out buddy and I had to change my user name over on RCG because of a login issue they were having years ago and never changed it back to DCORSAIR, I'm SKYBOSS over on RCG.

[Aros]

That was me Aros.... I tried to get that box working but it just never would power up the rx, I did some soldering on it and changed out resistors but no matter what I did to it, it was dead, what ever you did to it Aros I have no idea but its junk now..

Sorry I don't. I gave my faulty one to somebody that let me have theirs that works.

No worries, I'll probably end up buying one from hsd or something. There are just settings I want to do that were not set by the guy I got it from. It'll still fly, but it's just not up to the potential I want it to be.

Everything runs fine with it, just a dead display screen

[rifleman_btx]

Well I just picked one up, the program box display screen failed in it, and was wondering if anyone had a spare available.

[Aros]

Good call on the 90mm Hugh...That old fatty needs to be modernized desperately.

This HSD F-16 requires some room to breathe for sure. I am elated I have access to a wide open area finally!

[Hugh Wiedman]

I've been really tempted to get one of these. Maybe if I loose my 80mm I'll save up a bit and get one.

You and me both! 😉 But concerned about taking off a grass runway as they claim it's not suited for that. In the meantime I just upgraded my FW 90mm F16 from 6S to 8S. Great results, better flight characteristics, short grass take offs and increased flight time to over 5 minutes. 🤗

Here she is...I think this is Arctic Camo number 4 or 5?!? I burned out my receiver trying to connect my head-turning pilot (grrrr) so I am waiting for a new receiver to bind it up and she's ready to maiden at the beach!

[DCORSAIR]

Haha I know what you mean DCORSAIR. I still have mine (number 4 I think?) but it’s at a buddy’s house. His wife was going to paint it Arctic Camo for me. And then I moved out of state and now I don’t know what to do. The club here is a bumpy crappy grass field. I hate to sell it but not sure what my options are?!

Oh no not good, but I can tell you now that there may be guys flying it off nice low cut grass okay but if its bumpy I don't think the gear can take it, I've already fixed a couple of issues and I fly off asphalt with no hard landings yet with either one, but now that I have found the sweet spot with the CG location I don't know if I want to sell one, I just flew them both again yesterday experimenting with CG locations and really like it about 10mm farther back than the stock position mentioned in the instr. manual., its about right where the front screw hole is that holds the drop tank on. I hate to see you sell it because I know you will love it once you dial it in, so easy to fly and land, just glides in so slow nose high with a little power on the whole time she will do a nice high alpha landing,.....

Haven't updated in awhile, I ended up buying both of them, they sure do fly great to, I really don't need two so I may sell one but I can't make up my mind which to keep..
