Flight Report: HET F20

[flying saucer]

I have 4 or 5 flights now on my HET F20 Tigershark. Maiden flight was a bit hairy as I had a bad Spektrum brownout that I narrowly recovered from. I later found out that the satellite rx which I installed was not active, so I had to rebind everything, this time with the satellite connected! 

This one is definitely no speed demon, probably only pulling 50amps continuous or so, but it does fly nicely. It's more of an aerobatic plane, although landings are still rather hot. I'm waiting for a new 35C battery from the king so it may perk up a bit more

Glad to hear you saved it!  Can't wait to see it fly. Congrats

What Rx were you using? Was it working during your pre-flight checks?

Glad to hear that you were able to land it safely, I've always liked the look of the F5/ F20 fighters. They look so aggressive and fast. Maybe I'll get another one day.

Hand launches are tricky, even from our resident expert with a 20km/h headwind!

Why is it, that if you scroll to the end of the video, we can see your rear end?  But it won't play it.. that was the best part!  (Commentary).

Looks good but sounds even better!

I bought the plane hoping for 120mph+, when my new 35C lipo comes in, I might try high timing on the ESC and see if that does the trick...
