Thanks guys. I am very happy with the results. It looks so graceful in the air, has quite the presence.
And to take it from a box of sticks to what she is now is one of the most satisfying things I have ever done i this hobby.

Bill nice build she looks pretty in the photo, and floaty in the video. Fun times building from a box of sticks. I need to get something on the building board for a winter project.

Got a few more flights on it now. I have gone to a little bigger battery to give it a touch more nose weight and that seem make it a bit more stable.
Now to just get some warm weather and start practicing for the SEFF LMR contest this spring.

A friend of of mine has a butterfly he has converted to electric. He put a power 25 eflite motor on it. A bit of overkill but it still floats really nice with power off.
