12th Oct. 2001. "Finally a calm early evening... Hand launched glide test looked good, so power up and away... well over 10 mins later she slides into the grass at my feet. Then an 11 min. flight on 7x700mAh 'pencells' saw me circuiting at head height, fun!
The 7.2v Speed 400 gives ample power, climbing at half throttle.
Want some fun?.... build one !"
