    I bent mine hitting the edge of our pavement landing. I don't think you'll have a problem on grass. But I've flown at your field and wouldn't fly my Zeus there.

      We now have an EDF/UMX runway made of Geotech. I've never had an issue flying my Avanti there on the grass field, so I'm hoping the gear is the same! Looking for a color match for the blue. I went to HD and Lowes today and they couldn't get a close enough match. Does anyone have one??

        Went back to Home Depot today and a guy there made a very good match for the blue paint. Because it's satin, it's a bit shiny, but if you take a dab of hand sanitizer on a cloth and lightly go over it, it comes out perfect!

            OK kids, I joined the 8S Zeus Club! In "stand out in the crowd" Orange! LOL! Ordered from MotionRC just now. Actually very excited, need a break from military jets with something fast and fun! I'll use my new FrSky X18SE with a Tandem rx with gyro. Been watching video of the guy with the blue one who set it up for FPV...and I think I'll end up doing that. I fly drones too so I have the stuff, just printed out the head tracking device on my printer, and I ordered the Arduino chip to do head-tracking. If I can wire up a drone, I'm sure I can do this.. but yeah, the Zeus looks awesome either way - FPV or LOS. Now back to reading the thread! :)

              An interesting few flights today. The 10s conversion is going well! But sadly the low voltage cut off kicked in early and I had to dead stick into the neighbouring field, does anyone know the orange paint code or a matching colour please? Thanks
