Sig - Dornier DO 217 - Evening Test Flight with 8X4.5 Props and 1500mAh 3S 40C Zippy Compact Lipo

Short, but telling flight. Looks like we need to go much smaller on the Lipo for better flight performance. Paired with the new higher pitch props, this plane really performed a lot better, but it was DARK!!! That's why the landing was so sudden.
