Re: Amazing RC Flying

Did you notice near the end, the amount of elevator travel rigged into that little model? And the power to weight ratio means... anything goes.
A bit like we used to see the F-15's go vertical... open up the throttle and then pass through the sound barrier straight up. Fun to watch. :!: :!:

Flying is dangerous. If you think otherwise, you are new at this sport. Mind the gravity not the gap.

Re: Amazing RC Flying

Most of our IMAC models will hover at around 1/4 throttle. For 3D flying throws of 70-80 degrees are used. Nothing like putting 50+#'s of thrust in a 20-25# plane :mrgreen:
