bigger they are the better they fly, our 72" cap flys superb just because of its size

took it to the flying club today for the first time, initially just to run the engine in on the ground but the weather was ideal for a maiden flight.
had 6 flights in all, i was a bit intimidated at first being bigger than i'm used to, plus the fact it's about £700 worth going up in the air. flew great and after the first couple of goes all nerves had gone.
thanks alex for the cheap model and servos
