You  know thats a great idea :idea:  I'm going to purchase one of those little cameras and mount it to the Strega.

The Long Haul Report.  :cool: 

Well after flying the Strega all summer long. I haft to say this little bird is simply AMAZING!  :D  It is so fast and nimble, It has yet to be beat in any racing competition. It is a hand full on take offs and landings at first. She does take a little practice in theses 2 areas before I was able to smooth things out. I did find room in the wing center for the A3 gyro. I have it set up that the gyro only comes on when the flaps are deployed for take offs and landing. This dramaticly improved everything. During flight, the plane is so stable, gyro not needed. All the electronics and motor holding up very well. I bent the landing gear a few times before I was use to her, They bent back into place with out a problem and even though the retracts them selves got beat up pretty good in the beginning. They still work and are in good working order.  :D  This aircraft is a high quality product with out a doubt. Its durable and rugged. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I did I mention the fun factor rating? 10.

Happy landings from the Pacific NW  :P

The Strega's stock wing is very strong, and imparts a lot of stability and durability to the aircraft. I've had my share of tip scrapes on low passes and even a tumble here and there in the weeds, and like Fly Boy said this bird still "keeps on ticking". I'm above flight 400 on Strega 1. Strega 2 has her share of flights, too. Voodoo is waiting in the hangar as backup but red/white is easier on my eyes.
