Jet'n in Texas

This is a video of a flight of my recently upgraded Big foamy BAE Hawk, I have had it nearly 3 years, but it was previously powered by a 1800 rpm/v out runner in a Wemotech Midi. I put this 12 bladed CS fan in, and it has a lot more thrust. It really runs nicely, although this video isn't very good and the cheap FlyFly retracts are horrible, (I just changed them after this video).

I am using 65C batteries and with these I am able to run up over 1000 watts, but most of the time it only needs 600 or so. This thing only weighs about 6 lbs, and can land like a feather, but in the video one of the LG fell off in flight, so the landing got edited out, no damage but ugly!

It has a much better sound then the previous configuration with the Wemo, and I am flying less that half throttle most of the time. I have since replaced the landing gear, and I am looking forward to flying it again soon.

I love this Big foam Jet, it really provides low stress, scale flying and lots of fun!
