    Agree. If loaded it with 3 kg electronics and lipo I bed a hand launch would need an oversized motor setup. Then again we like oversized stuff.

    I think the wheel with get in the way of the launch, they bungee the real ones so I bet this will struggle from the hand when loaded. That said I fancy one as well.

  • Oh wow, that picture makes it look much bigger than I thought!

    There should be no problem having more than 5000 mAh 4S inside.

    Gary@ I will tell you in 5 days. To me the fuselage looks a little thin in construction so it might have to have a thin layer of composite.

    Well I think it will get a thin layer no matter what.

  • I love the fact that it has a wheel on the belly to help it belly land without wearing on the foam constantly.  But, it's not to the extent that it has actual landing gear which can be draggy, and fragile.

  • So what about the 4S 5000?

    Might it be a little flexible Hooks??
