Great job breathing new life into an old school bird Terry. She came out beautiful! You are truly a Master Craftsman

Looks good. I flew one and it was very snappy. Have no idea how heavy it was though.

I bought it with the intention of building new wings right away to help fix the "snappy" but @Flyrcjoe convinced me to fly it as is and get it as light as possible to actually try it first. I trust his recommendations. If it's crappy or snappy it's going under the knife!!

If you build new wings send the old ones to me and I will be a big profile around them.

Youre gonna tear up the imac circuit. I didnt see if you put smoke in it or are going to just fly it first. It looks great nonetheless.

I was in a hobby shop called rc planet in salt lake last week and they had one of these hanging as a display. I begged the owner to sell it to me but no go. I guess I will have to figure out a way to get him to trade it or something. Just DONT tell my wife. I am on a short leash right now.

Maiden.....Check!!! Knife Edge mixing........Check!! Four flights and DA100 tuned up.......Check Check Check Check!!

Happy with it . It's no modern 3D machine but that's not what I expected or was looking for. It is CLEAN, squeaky clean and is super fun to fly scale. It will be a wonderful IMAC plane after a little more dialing in. It was a little breezy today to dial in the rudder on up / down lines but that will come soon. Old DA100 fresh back from DA with 27x11 hauls the mail, feels like perfect IMAC prop.

Nope, @thelaw was here at the shop working. She gave me some dirty looks and a little growl but I snuk out anyway. Robbins got a little air to air video with the gopro on his edge though!
