My 2nd plane came in today!
I got my second plane, the FreedomFlyer in today!
This plane is very, very nice.
Im going to go flying this weekend, and the rest of next week, as everyday is Sunny, High of 75 or so, with winds less then 7 MPH!
I cant wait.

RE: My 2nd plane came in today!
I took it up today!
Pretty windy out.
My dad came with me to hand launch it.
We got it up and it flew great!
I was gliding all around.
Then I let my dad try.
He nose dove it and broke a prop.
We went home to charge the batterys back up.
We went back and I got a good 5 minute flight! My longest yet.
I then let my dad try again and would'nt you know it, he broke another.
I now have only 1 prop left, and I dont think im gonna let my dad try it any time soon =P
I was a bit dissipointed with flight time.
You can have the motor on for more then 2 minutes at a time without totaly draining the battery.
Overall, this is a great plane, and I hope to take it up tommarow.

RE: My 2nd plane came in today!
I just got back from a full day of flying the FreedomFlyer.
All I can say is if you want a nice beginner plane that can do loads of aerobatics, get this one.
I did not brake a thing today, because I did not let my dad fly it =P
I was out for a solid 2 hours, flying around a school.
First flight was pretty good.
I just did some circles around the place.
2nd flight was just as good, same thing.
3rd flight I moved to a diffrent area of the school. Perfect landing.
4th flight was the same as the rest.
5th flight I climbed to around 1000 feet and caught a bunch of thermals.
Up in the air for a good 15 minutes.
6th flight I got pretty wild.
I tried a loop and got a perfect one.
Then I tried another and pulled 2, one after the other, and then I did a half loop and did half a barrel roll to get out.
I was stunned, so then I rolled onto my side, and pulled back on the stick.
I went around so fast, and so low.
Then I pulled out into a half loop and did a barrel roll out of it.
My brother and his friend then ran out into the center and I buzzed them so low they had to duck.
They started laughing.
Then I did a loop right over them, and they oohhhed and ahhhed.
I then did a couple sharp turns and a VREY fast fly by.
I went so low and so fast that I could feel the wake from the prop as it sped by us.
I then pulled up, got up to around 1000 feet or so, and glided gracfully down.
I then powered up, turned to final, cut the motor and... OH NO! A sudded gust of wind knocked me over to my right!
I fliped over, and hit REAL hard. I ran over, and looked down at my plane in schock.... Nothing happened.
Prop did not brake, no dammage on the wing, tail... nothing...
I was amazed, and called it a day as there was only 5 minutes of sun light left.
I can not express how much better this plane is over the Aerobird that I purchased first.
You can actualy CONTROL this one, and you dont have to mess around with those rubberbands on the tail, or the wires.
This is a great plane for an amazing price.
You'd have to be stupid not to get it.
The freedom Flyer handles better then any of the planes that my friends own, including some of the higher priced ones.
I want to thank RC-Fiend, for refering me to the FF.
