Flew 4 flights on the vyper bipe. Got all the coupling mixed out of it. By far my favorite airplane now. So much so that I may sell my 48 edge. Bipe just does it all.

Wow, what a fun day of flying! One of my friends has a 42 slick that was crashed, repaired(a bit heavier now), and has a bigger motor, and we flew it with the intentions of making rc confetti! We flew 3s until we didn't have batteries, then messed with 4s, doing full throttle blenders pulling out as low as we could. After my 2nd blender on 4s I ejected the battery and canopy, stripped the elevator servo(was about 8 degrees off center on one side and maybe 3 on the other), broke both elevator counter balances(one just hanging by the covering), and pulled the elevator servo clean out of the fuse. We couldn't find the canopy or battery, but after about 10 mins we got the plane back in the air after some recovering and CA. We then decided we needed to do a wingtip touch, and after a few attempts passed the radio to me, and I manged to bring it down, and get both the elevator and wing, and flew it out, with one elevator flapping in the breeze. Here's the aftermath

We're gonna meet up again next weekend, and se what else we can manage to do with it. Any suggestions? There's video of some of the blenders, will post it when it gets posted on facebook

I think Arron Bates proved it takes 5s full throttle downline to parachute, in order to break the wing tube. (NJ FLI)

Good luck!

We'll figure something out. Next week we're gonna do a lowest crank contest with it I think...

I went to IRCHA today. Jesus H Christ, watching the likes of Nick Maxwell, Kyle Dahl, and Kyle Stacy lay it all out in The One competition was NUTS!
