Lepton is on the way! (UPDATE: It's built and flying!)

Many people here seem to have problems with the paint flaking off..

I can't comment at the moment on it flaking since it's new. But I first washed the canopy, then sprayed a few coats of Adhesion promotor and just applied 1 coat of the fluorescent yellow. It remains to be seen if there is a lot of flaking. I didn't try to apply too much paint. Also, I sprayed automotive clear coat (from a spray can) on it, 2 coats to be exact.

okay, adhesion promotor really helps alot so you shouldn't have any flaking problems. How are you flight times with the 10turn motor? Also what 4s lipo are you running?

I'm getting about 7-9 minutes with a mix of sport flying and 3D. I am expecting about 7-8 minutes of good flying. I'm using the Evo 20 3700 4s batteries. I love them.

Wow, I would've expected less. How much mAh's are you putting back into the lipos? Also, I assume you are using curves instead of governor mode.

I'm putting about 2800mAH back into those packs. Yeah, i'm running curves. I still am not flying as aggressively as I am on with my other helis, though.
