Phil May Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 After countless weeks waiting to test my Panic, today was the day, it was freezing down the field but it was dry and 3mph wind. Oh what fun,I could not believe how it can be thrown about. The new Irvine 53 was happy at 1/3 throttle to get her to rotate off the strip in about 20 yards and kept her aloft at about the same. Maybe in time I will change to a bigger motor, but for now it's cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytilbroke Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Good on yer lad. A great little plane .61 gives a little more power, and a weight dissadvantage which is not needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Plumb Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Finished mine last summer put a 91 on front, balanced perfect - flys like a pussy cat, if you want it too. Try flying in 15 MPH it will land like a STOL. Certainly a fun machine. Did your side struts fall off, little tip use alittle clear tape (cellotape) for security it works great and you don't see it. Have fun Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
