Same one. A123's are heavier. I also have 2 more small servos for spoilers. I probably will post some pictures tomorrow. It is happy at that weight.

I worry about getting too far out by accident. It happens easily. I would use a park flier receiver for indoor flying in a blink.

I also am cautious with the ones with only one antenna. My Airtronics has worked well in my Chrysalis. I don't ever plan to get a park flier receiver. Too many things can go wrong.

Yes, sometimes it works superbly, and other times not as well. It does make it much easier to inspect for damage.

I have covered the outboard side of polyhedral tip section ribs with chrome Monokote and then used transparent over the tip section. At high altitude you can get some very visible flashes at times.

It all depends on conditions. Nothing is perfect all the time. I usually do transparent. It does weigh less if you obsess about weight.

My Chrysalis can make a loud buzzing sound during climb if it is steep enough. I use the MP JET motor and an Aeronaut 13-8 folder. It started out with 8 CP1300SCR cells but now uses 3 A123 2300's. ...

I bet the vibration was during a steep climb. I sometimes get one and use it as a signal to ease off on the climb. I think it comes from the folding prop.

They are an estimation tool. Not always gospel. They don't know what may smoke things. That is your job. You should always follow up by testing as you correctly did. Rely on tests.
