Paul Geders brought a couple news planes to the Club Meeting Show-n-Tell. First one is an XK Innovations Beech-17S biplane. Available on eBay in red or yellow for $89.99. It comes ready to fly with a 3D6G system for stability and control, two flight batteries, spare propellor, receiver, battery charger, tools and transmitter. It has position lights that you can turn off, blink, or stay on. Great looking and flies well.
Second up was an E-flite Micro B-2 Spirit of America Twin 30mm Stealth Bomber available at Horizon Hobby for $229.99. Paul flew it prior to the meeting and was amazed at how well it flies. He compared it to the real one’s control systems. He took off in SAFE and trimmed it out. Noticed it had a tendency to turn into the wind! Then, put it in AS3X and looped and rolled it. Later, back to SAFE mode for landing…had to push well forward on the stick to get it down. Looks great in the air and he can’t wait to fly it again.
