This is kit version of the Venom, using Freewing 9g MG servos all around except for the elevator, which has a Hitec HS-65MG.

Power system is the stock 1700kv 12-blade 900mm setup from the PNP Freewing Yak.  Ergo, 1700kv Freeing 90mm fan (the "12B"), and a 130A OEM Hobbywing ESC.  Flown on a 6S-5000 Revolectrix Diamond Label 60C battery.

I was taking it easy this flight and kept to one side of the field due to very poor lighting.  It looks bright but the sun was such that I was blind to the left, and could not see the orientation of the plane well on downwind.  However, on the maiden flight by the second or third trim pass I had it dialed in and made some nice low passes.

This power system is overkill - most of this flight is probably 1/3 to 1/2 throttle.
