Commentary
Wicked fun! Good power from the $9 motor with a top level flight speed of around 65mph and a flight time of around 7 minutes at high to full power and the 1600mah, 3S pack. Getting the elevons working evenly and correctly takes a little time but once your there it will spin very tightly and make a wicked noise in the process.
It is also indestructible! I have smacked this into the ground at full speed, in a dive, caught a tip in a cartwheel and the only problem so far is finding the battery :). When D-man gets his up at the same time we do our best to try and knock each other out of the sky but so far this hasn't happened. We've "touched" a couple times but no direct hits (yet). Turns out that third dimension is hard to see.
