Just watched the video, (had to go camping) looks good. Doesn't appear to couple in KE. I hope it brings you many hours if enjoyment my friend.

I got three more flights on the yak this morning. Stopped at the club on my way (actually way out of the way) to work. Had a guy yelling at me to stay out past the yellow line... ooh watch out for the catastrophic damage I'm going to inflict with this 20 oz foamy lol. Oh well...
I am getting closer to having it trimmed out right... still trying to find the best cg. It looks like I will need to move my packs back further as it really dives when I roll inverted. It tucks to the gear in ke which is counter intuitive to the cg issue... makes me wonder if it is more of a thrust line thing. Thoughts?

Thougts is get the CG right first, then deal with the KE issue. The thing with foamies that s kind of a pain is the battery's. You will see packs don't all weigh the same amount. They, might have the same rating, and come from the fame factory, but different runs have different weights (significant differences). Those varying weights have me chasing CG all the time. I have CG marks on the wing root, and pencil marks where the different weight packs live.
TH makes the best foamies I have owned, and all but my Crack Lazer have little quirks that I just live with. They are super fun, and they help me get better all the time. They just aren't a pattern ship that can be dialed in perfectly for every maneuver. At least I haven't been able to do it. Maybe Cody and Chris can set theirs up to do it all perfectly. When I say perfectly, that they don't have to hold additional inputs for corrections to counteract things like KE coupling, or inverted flight.
Like I said, get the CG as good as you can, then mess with the KE coupling. On a side note; I gave up trying to get my MXS-C to not couple. Anymore I just fly it and do constant corrections to keep it going the way I want. It's still a blast, but it frustrated me to no end until I just gave up and flew it.
One day I would love to have a pull on one built by one of the masters (Cody & Chris). I want to know if my building skills are the problem or not.

I LOVE THIS PLANE
Twisted Hobby's planes are the best foamies out there.
As much as I still love my Crack Laser this plane is a blast.
It flies well in the wind as long as you have plenty of power. Today 8 to 10 with gusts to 15 no problem at half throttle.
But with light wind it is just so solid and fun.
I enjoy the extra flight times I'm getting, about 8 min with 35% bat left. 1000 to 1300 mAh
My only concern is the motor has a little noise like a bearing going or dirt in it.
