Finally...the flight of the Stork 2 Pro

Did maiden flight at BBAFC yesterday and it flew very gracefully despite of the windy condition. Not much of a trim was needed except for the slight down elevator was needed. Test out the chambering and it was well setup. Penetrate well during windy condition with a slight negative chamber. ( Approx -3mm )

Apart from that no problem of any unexpected move like tips stalling when turning at a very low speed. Very responsive and it is also very gentle with the landing. With a full butterfly flap down, the sailplane was really slow and gentle for touch down. It was worth the money...I guess you get what you paid for.

It soared beautifully.
Very sensitive to thermals.
Did a low pass for Vincent to capture the bottom side of the sailplane.
Start climbing to test the burst...climb rate is very fast due to it's light weight. Was using 4s 2500mAh and it did take much of the battery capacity. It was just perfect.













Testing out the Butterfly brakes...everthing seems to be just right.























Did a High G turn and it was indeed very responsive.
