Managed to get some air beneath the skids on the MP today  .
Totally fantastic machine - very very precise and what a noise
Only thing I couldn't get was the level of 'punch out' that Yan was getting at 3DMasters but need to 'play' with the ESC settings a bit to see if I can get more.
Headspeed was tached at 1950 and it held fine for 'normal' flying, just didn't hold for that full power climbout we all saw at the show. Inverted came only minutes into the first flight which saw some backward rolls, inverted backward circuits and death spiral - it went that well .
Batteries were pretty warm after an 8-10 minute flight - nice in this lovely British weather but the motor and controller were cold (well, alright they were slightly warmer than cold but you couldn't hold on to them to take the chill off your fingers  ).
Managed to get two flights in - wind was increasing in the afternoon but confidence gained from this morning allowed me to get out a second time. Not sure my 30A leisure battery in my flight box can handle more than one re-charge though and will definately have to invest in a second flight pack as soon as funds allow .
Took the 3DNT out with me aswell, but that one didn't get to see any airtime as it would just have felt like flying a barge after the nimble MP - also couldn't be bothered with all that fueling/starting/cleaning down again. Won't be for sale in the immediate future but who knows  .
Will be uploading all the pics including the battery make-up in the morning.
Cheers
