Just an FYI, it flies pretty high on a 1/2A motor and as high as most middle aged eyes can track on an A.

BTW, are those lead bars on your workbench, or did you steal your local public school's erasers?

Why...yes! Those are in fact, lead bars.....the welder that i work with was kind enough to make them up for me when i was building wood r/c model Hydroplanes....i needed something to keep the framework square and hold the skins down as the epoxy was curing........and thanks for the heads up on the altitude stuff for my Snipe Hunter!

I used boxes of ammo when I was flying R/C planes.
