Maiden and 2nd flights of my scratch-built RC Powers Eurofighter version 5, May 17, 2022. Overall I am very happy with the way this plane turned out and it flies very well, even in wind. I am looking forward to upgrading the motor from the XING 2750kv to an EMAX 2300kv motor, which is what I would normally use in this type of setup, but I didn't have one laying around at the time of finishing the aircraft. I have some on order now and will upgrade in the coming weeks and will share the flights in the near future!
