"Did you ever do the testing? How did you get on with the turnigys? I'm looking at using them on a 650 frame"
"Yeah I have seen that Bill! Absolutely amazing. I was lucky enough to meet David at a hobbyking flying event in the UK and asked him about that project. He told me he actually only retrieved the plane because someone found it and phoned him up!…"
"Thanks so much for all the guidance. It's so helpful to know what's been tried and tested. Because it's a school project our budget is limited, but it isn't small, as we are keen for it to work! I'll have a look at the skyfun. Good point Jerry.…"

"At the moment we've got a setup with a motor and prop so that we can do some test flights and work out the glide slope easily. Then we'll try and do some RTLs with the motor. Then after that we plan to fly it to say 500m in the air and see if it can…"
