Nice flight man !
I flew mine on a 3200mh. and it does well. I do fly it without gear.
Don't forget to pull up the flaps before landing, I did and one flap broke.

i think they recommend a minimum of 50c to 100c rating on the 2200mah packs and i think thats why you were getting the early low battery warnings Bobby

I’m not a beginner, but I’m really considering picking one up. It’s always good to have a warmup jet.

[BillWaggoner-skci]

Definitely seems like a great start edf, great vid and show last night

[geofkane]

Great vid, plane looks fun and easy to fly

[looneytunes]

One thing i really hate on avian esc, s is they set the LVC on the high end of the scale and you get those abnoxious alerts on your transmitter everytime you pour the coals on. i think its a ploy to force people into upgrading their batteries to the Spektrum Gen 2 batteries for them?

Wow fantastic guys. Im torn between this and the 80mm fms bae hawk. This looks easier to handle? Any thoughts ……

[eric_the_avr]

Great video. It looks like a nice plane. That's a great-looking flying field, too. My club in VA got closed down, and the closest one is over an hour away.

I like that airframe but hate the paint job. Who's bright idea was it to paint the bottom grey? You made it look good though, thanks.

How do you compare this to the 64mm L39?
