Looks slow in that vid but there are a few on youtube that look faster, I know it wnt get the magic 100 but I'm sure it will do over 70mph.

oohhh  I love it Ben ...you know what's gooooddddd....

wings are best for FPV ,anything else is just "addendum"

yes marcin I choose this over a new skyfun or funjet as they dont crash as well

I should stop coming on these forums... I just end up spending more money.

Ordered a Slipstream kit after seeing yours come out so light. Tbh it's due for replacement as I've had it for 6 years.

I fly with a Mega 16/15/4 with a 6x4. Using the slightly dubious wav speed doppler program it used to do about 85mph. Think you need 4s for 100mph.

[MrBen]

Nice, how did yours become heavy lol?

It's a real quick build isn't it, makes a change for me as I usually drag my feet!

I wonder if quagy will let me use the 3000 mah lipo, he want me to keep it light.

[londonguy]

I think it's just added up over the years with all the tape and several covering jobs.

The motor "mount" plate on the bottom of mine went soft and the motor started wobbling around. So I found a bit of wood from the back of a photo frame and just glued it on with a clamp.

I have a feeling the new slipstreams have thicker bottom plate because I bought a raven this year and the ply in that was much thicker than my raven.

[MrBen]

well my ply plate was less than 1mm thick I think (never measured it), gonna get the elevons on tonight and do a thrust test see what this motor gives me.

If you're well behaved and use a 2200 I might let you make it 4s 

[MrBen]

I do have some 4s 2200 but they are very fat I dont think they would fit in! Gonna balance at 18cm with 2450 then it will be nose heavy with the 3000 (hopefully around 16.5cm) we shall see

[Quagmire]

Well, that's no excuse.

MAKE IT FIT.

Failing that, you are authorised to use the 2450.

[MrBen]

I have a 3s 5000 here, I might squeeze that in quagy 

Elevons on!

[Quagmire]

That thing looks effin' mental with those massive UHF antennas sticking out on top lol.

And no you're definitely not allowed to use a 5000 

[londonguy]

I used to fly LOS only with it at 950g or so and I really liked it. Would go up in all sorts of wind no problem, was awesome to fly. Didn't feel like a foamy if you know what I mean.

Gonna aim for 900g weight when I rebuild mine to run on 2x1500cells with option for 2x2000's. probably around a kilo.
