Pretty awesome guys! Can't wait to get them both in the air together!

The first flight was done with a Graupner Speed 6x5.5 prop which was very fast!!! On the second flight we tested an APC 6x5.5, still fast but nowhere near the Graupner. Tomorrow we are headed to Icare to purchase a Graupner 7x7 prop which will really make this plane sing. Ice 100 controllers rule, they can handle upwards of 150 amps if you have sufficient cooling.

Setup:

Scorpion 3026 1600Kv
Castle Ice 100 ESC
Hitec HS5065MG
Nanotech 3s 2250mAh in series for 6s 2250 mAh
Futabe 8FG for guidance!

I don't think that even a professional cameramen can follow that thing in the air...

Practice formation flying.

Hey Rich, this is a nice project for speed and also look's amazing. Maybe use Tarek's Turbine!!! I don't think the heli can go that fast!!!
