All Quite on the RC Front

Not much happening lately. No new planes/jets to report on. Have about 30 flights on the MegaJet II with no crashes. Jonnie has reworked his Giant SR-71 and added stearable landing gear making it possible to take and land in the parking lot when empty.

Have a more powerful motor for the MegaJet II but enjoy flying it right now with the existing motor. The additional speed would be nice but it would cut my fling time in half if I prop it out as planned.

FYI Jonnie's experience with the new Turnigy Nano batteries has been less than desirable. It would seem they don't like being pushed to their burst limit. He has fried both of the Nano's but regular batteries pushed to their stated limits seem to hold up. It would seem that the Nano's double the normal rating for a burst limit is over optimistic.
