Before my normal video rundown, I need to thank my friend for filming this flight. It was filmed on my difficult to use Galaxy S5. Thanks Esteban!!! (P.S. My wife is way better at filming...hahahah!)

This is another remaiden of my Hobbyking Art Tech F-14 Tomcat - now flown on a 4S 2200mAh 60C Zippy Compact Lipo. This was the first flight from 6/30/2016,  my first flight with the larger 4S battery (the last video showcased 2X 1800mAh 2S 25-50C in series, and they got pretty puffy.) One additional note, the 60C battery didn't puff at all, it was warm to the touch only, some great news!

Better flight characteristics, but the right ESC got to 158 degrees while the left was at only 120 degrees, and those temps were a few minutes after flying. I'm not 100% sure if that means I'm going to kill the ESC's, but if that is the case, I will have another $35-55 puked into this $150 plane...which sucks. I like when I buy a plane and it works, but I WANT to upgrade it...with Hobbyking, you buy a plane HOPING not to have to sink another 2X the price of the plane to make it a "Good one".

I'm picky, and I have high standards, but I'm not a fool...I knew what I was getting into on this plane.

Gotta admit, the 4S does make it a lot cooler!
