New Champion kit arrived!

I received my Father's day kit via UPS on Friday, and should be airborne by the weekend, weather permitting.

Very impressed by the fiberglass fuselage and quality of the built up parts. With gear, motor, and prop installed, I blipped it up to half throttle across the kitchen floor. Does it ever scoot! :eek:

I started a summary/log page with a few pics here: http://skaus.homestead.com/rcchamp.html. (http://skaus.homestead.com/rcchamp.html)

If anyone has had any success with APC props and geared 280 motors, let me know what has worked.

Very cool! I've been waiting for a review of this litle baby.

Looking forward to hearing about your first flight! Any chance of video? ;)

I don't have a way to input video, sorry. H.L. usually offers flight demo videos, but I haven't looked to see if they have any footage of this one yet.

I'll post construction updates/comments on the web link mentioned previously. All that's left now is installing the tail pushrods & servos, Rx & battery.
