Fly C-17wigh 4x40mm EDFs: anyone one else enjoying one of these?

[tab28682]

I have been flying one of the neat little XFly 1.2m C-17s for about 6 months now, and really enjoying it.

i could not see any evidence of a discussion in here.

This is a fine looking small rendition of a C-17. 1.2m span, 4x40mm Xfly 40mm 5500Kv fans 4s powered. It does include flaps, not segmented ones, just one flap per wing panel.

Super easy to assemble. Great looking finish and decals. Near display level quality.

Zero issues. Great flying model! Love the super quiet fans. Sounds much more like a single fan or perhaps a twin fan than a model with four fans. It presents in the air like a larger model. A couple of guys drove up while it was flying and they were amazed at how small the model actually was when we returned to the pit area.

Used a 4s 3300 HRB and a Lemon 7 ch RX with no gyro.

If you have to, it can do basic aerobatics. I rarely do so…:)

I find it fills my need for a C-17 model in my fleet. No retracts, but with the very short gear, the lack of retracts is barely noticeable when you are in the pattern. Great fun to shoot touch and goes with! You can slow it down enough with flaps so it does not look like a fighter making a high speed fly by.

It will operate off very short grass with no issues.

A well done effort by XFly.

I guess no one else appears to be enjoying this great little model….:)
