sdparkflyers...I just finished your supersloP51. I did not get it exactly as your build log shows, but close. I am using a heavier battery to balance, still a 2s but about 800mAh. I also used the heavier 9mm EPP and it cut nice. I am going to toss this thing tomorrow and see how it does. I am not expecting startling performance with a 2s battery, but it sure feels like it will do fine. Thanks for the nice, one sheet, easy-to-build airplane.

Chuck thanks and your welcome.

I just got done building a 6mm version and doing some testing. so stay tuned for that.

I also did a F3P plane that came out real nice.

Hope to maiden the plane on Saturday!

So stay tuned,

Sdparkflyers...just a quick update on your nifty little 51. I now have two of them and they both fly just great. Very stable in all attitudes. They handle the wind well. I did choose to go to 3 cell batteries. The two cell left me feeling a little leery as it did not have the "oomph" to get me out of the kinds of trouble I get into. 1300 mAh 3s provides plenty of power. The Blue Wonder will handle it fine. I am using 8x4 props and flight times are pretty amazing even using 1/2 to 3/4 throttle most of the time. I am anticipating your 6mm version. I have found I do like the EPP a lot. Very durable, paints up easy. Stickers? Well that is another problem, EPP does not seem to like stickers much. When do you think your 6mm will be ready?
