    A 6s run with my Cheetah. Caught some serious air on the 4th lap that wound up putting a few stress cracks in the hatch from the landing. Guess I'll have to add a layer of CF to it.

      Yeah I was thinking that was running very well today. I only caught a small bit of the run but it looked good....

          You'll find some slow mo in several of them that I shot today. Had to have some instant replay to see what happened.

              Last one today. I had to play with the quad just a little today so used it to shoot Ray and Larry in a P Hydro (rigger) vs P Sport Hydro run. At full screen it looks pretty good on my local computer.

                          At that time I was running a Castle 1717 with Octura X447 2 blade. I've since switched over to a Neu 1527/1Y to get better run times. If I had to run a penalty lap with the castle it would hit lvc before completing it.

                              Only an 8.7? But that was a full gainer with half twist plus another half gainer on the 1st bounce.

                                Not exactly a boat but still a triumphant moment for me.

                                After sitting since the 1st time I flew it in February of 2009 I finally "grew a pair" and put this one back in the air today. Having so much money wrapped up in it made me a nervous wreck every time I thought about flying it. But, after a couple years of trying to sell it without having to ship it and lowering the selling price a few times.... decided that if I bought it for what I was selling it for it wasn't that expensive. It's actually a good flying plane. With exception to the tip over landing I couldn't ask for better.
