[LASS Soaring] speaking of new, powerful planes :)

[Brian Kopke]

Sweet!  I have the Poly Sergio (REF) ready to go as well.  Haven't weighed
it yet but these are light ships.  Speed 400/4.5:1 Cosmo GB and 12x7.5 on
7x750NiMH.  Previous owner reported solid performance but I have not backed
it up with Motocalc.  Also have a full house wing waiting for some servos
and a uBEC (or separate RX pack).  The CC Sprite can only handle 3 micro
servos on 7 cells, bummer.  I plan on using the FH wing combo for windier
days since these planes kinda have a bad rap for anything but low wind
situations.  Of course this is just what I have read.  So when is the X5J
coming to Louisville???
