Thanks Todd! Nice to see you on here once in a while.
sb352....did you say 33 degrees? Holy Cow! Thats a heat wave that would cause a great flood around here! I better get the arc built tonight! Yup -15 was a bit chilly on the bare hands. the rest of my body was fine but my fingers were numb. I could not move my throttle stick with my thumb at the end. I had to pull my whole arm down to get the stick to move....my thumb was locked up from extreme cold.

Yes it did a little. My other stryker is as fast so it wasn't that new really. Wednesday may bring a different story though. I am going to prop up for more watts. Right now it is only pushing 1000w. Looking for 1300w+. It will happen soon enough. I will video it as well.

What is it's flying weight mrmugen? Just tell me if I missed it (I skimmed) and I'll look harder. I'm going to use a somewhat different approach using glass and polyurethane with minimal carbon. Not sure if it will work though as I don't know how much rigidity I will get from the glass and poly. I considered epoxy resin instead though I've never done it before and poly seems like a much easier option.

I am flying right now at 47 ozs. I know of others flying over 60 ozs but with massive power.
I plan to do the same but different with this next build. I wanna kevlar the whole thing....

Nice weight. My motor ESC and battery alone weigh 35 oz but it should be good for at least 2200 watts ..if it fly's. I cut the motor wires off my CC125 which saved me 2/3rds of an ounce.
