Still waiting on my castle link from CC so I can fine tune the speed control. Flies very stable in a hover, I can'twait to get the canopy so I can get a little more aggresive. As aggresive as my minor skills will permit that is. :wink:
A few pictures of this Sunny Florida day for you guys!

Mine is 9 lbs 2 oz without a canopy. I am using the Thunder Tiger HP Carbon 600's, plastic tail blades off a raptor 50 (waiting on cf ones to arrive), 2700 mah 4 cell rx pack, R649 SPCM rx, 611 gyro servo combo, FP 3700 5s x2, Hacker A50 16S, CC HV85, and 9451 servos. And I wraped all the wires in wire loom which i'm sure added some weight.
Misskimo, does the Ion canopy fit ok? and how much modification does it need?
