@@richosvideos911 This is South-east Queensland, Australia.

@@nielsdaemen If the day is warm and there is thermal activity you can fly without power for as long as you want. We often fly for 30+ minutes after running the motor for 1.5 minutes total.

To maintain the front strength I haven't hollowed it out very much so none of the 4S packs I have will fit. It would be very fast on 4S though!

@@crog9750 It will be better when you get some bracing to keep it from flattening.

@@VoyazopoulosJean-Louis You are going to love the 1600! I flew it this morning and really enjoyed it after almost a month break. Unfortunately I don't know anything about programming RadioMaster transmitters as I use a Futaba T8J and Futaba compatible receivers from RadioMaster.

Thank you! That was a hairy go-around, and I shouldn't have retracted the flaps so quickly. The wind picked up about 10kph from launch to landing!

This is our flying field at Mundoolun, west of Tamborine Mountain.

Lidl rocket !!😅

The Albatross FX707s kit I purchased included a carbon tube for the wings and another for the rear of the fuselage.

@@Colin_Holloway gracias aún no me llegó no sabía si lo traía.

The Albatross FX707s kite includes a carbon tube wing joiner and fuselage stiffener.

@@stejer211 No difference at all! If anything it is better because there is less adverse yaw.

@@craigmcdonald-rcgliding Thank you! It makes me want to go larger next time.

Thank you! Yes I am in Aus, and I purchased from Banggood. Here's the link: www.banggood.com/custlink/DGv9hkJpGN

@@Colin_Holloway Thankyou! It’s currently $311 from the China warehouse and a lot cheaper but unavailable to send from the US warehouse. Did I miss a sale from the China warehouse? Damn

@@georgesmith5598 I got this one about a month ago on a flash sale. Keep an eye out because the sales come back often.

Thank you! I bought some black vinyl from a stationery store (used for covering books) and it sticks really well to the foam. I am actually using a N2830 1000LV motor with a BLHeli 30a ESC. It is working well except that the ESC doesn't have enough braking force to stop and fold the propeller. I am upgrading to a HobbyWing Skywalker V2 40amp which has multiple braking force options and a setting to turn off Active Freewheeling.

@@Colin_Holloway Thanks, that‘s super helpful, I hadn’t considered braking power. A better folding prop should help gliding! 3s speed is looking so much fun on your build. Hoping to get good runtime on a 3s 2200mah.

@@maximee The standard folding propeller from the kit is plenty good enough for sport flying, and with the right ESC it folds very flat to the fuselage. If you get some lift like I did on this flight, it isn't about runtime from the battery. The flight was over 16 minutes long and only used 2:45 of motor run, which was about 300ma from the battery. The 3S 2200 puts the CG on the marks but I only use about 15-20% of the charge each flight!

I have added the link to the description.

Yes, the servos are screwed in from the outside so provided you can pull the wires through they can be changed.

Thank you! This is our local footy fields 5 mins from home. Plenty of room for this kind of flying.

@@Colin_Holloway sweet flown canungra park with the pug

@@NickChittyFlying This would be perfect for a small DLG.

Yeah there is a coffee shop across the road. We often stop there for a meal when we are out on the motorcycle as well!

@@Colin_Holloway yer used to belong to hg mates sister see you up there soon 😍

I have added info to the description.

Sure thing

Absolutely! Just credit me on screen and in the description.

@@Colin_Holloway Thank you!

It's always good to make contact with a local! Send me a message and we talk 3D printing and flying! linktr.ee/colinholloway
