Sooo, today was Teddy's first flight since it was parked atop of my brother's wardrobe 12 years ago. I actually thought it was going to crash, or break mid-air but it didn't. In fact, it flew VERY well, and it also glides very well when you throttle down. After 12 mins at half throttle the batteries were half empty, which means that with some gliding it could easily go 20 mins.

The bulky thing on the nose is actually a 7s NiMh battery pack that I used to balance it properly since the li-pos were very light and it needed quite a lot of weight on the nose.
