[F1 madness]

Hey Jedi,thanks bud
Was a good maiden run for sure,the windy conditions made it fun LOL
Gonna have ago at some decals over the next day or 2.
iv thought about an outboard cowling but not sure yet,ill have another look into it.
Defo well happy with it,looks good,runs good and does what i wanted it to do.
Couple of issues to sort out but they aint hard.
i think i may step up to 5s setup now though

[F1 madness]

Hey guys,just an update,going this evening for run on 5s setup,should be very interesting to how it handles it.
Ill get vids and hoping to do a GPS run aswell.
So fingers crossed

[F1 madness]

Hi guys
Managed to run the F1 on 5s,what a barrel of laughs LOL
But iv got a couple of issues to iron out,the main 1 when its up on plane and starts hitting some speed its drifting to the left and im having to put on alot of opposite to try and correct it.makes driving it fun for sure the other is the porpoising.Any way heres the vids see what you think.

oh and a pic of GPS reading
not bad considering the issues made it almost impossible hit full throttle

[Jedi Master]

You must be pleased with that Daz! Am I right to assume that it just needs a bit more weight up front to cure the bouncing? Handles well in the corners too!!

[F1 madness]

Hi jedi
yeah theres still some tweaking to do yet but sure i can get it settle down,i do need to look into new radio to help with more controllable driving LOL
but overall im pretty happy with it.

[F1 madness]

Friend if mine who shot some vids on his gopro had a play around and came up with this

[martno1fan]

Like i said on the other forum Daz the fact its speeded up takes away from it a lot,much rather see a good video at normal speed and no music lol.Must be his phone but it looks like its doing 70 mph at times lol.

[detox]

Now that is different...you should be proud. Sorry I had not seen this build earlier.
