It's been a long time since we flew the airplane, but finally we got a fresh beaver and built it up with pre-enforcements. The new version comes with a 350 motor instead of a 300 and recommends adding additional struts to the wing for added stability. The old 100 speed controller was also unsuitable, so a new one had to be bought. Last night we installed 9 bright LEDs so that we can fly it at night, and it worked pretty good, except for one "hard landing" that broke a propeller. Tomorrow we'll install some different colour LEDs so it's a bit easier to see it's position. This thing can really tear it up, the power to weight ratio is pretty crazy with the 8 NiHM AAA pack it can climb straight up and loops are effortless.
