actually she will run on plane for about ten minutes at a time. The
limiting factor right now is the controllers we started with but we are in
the process of upgrading both the controllers and battery pack

we had her out on Hagg lake west of Portland for about four hours and we
were running on plane for about 40 minutes of that time and the balance
running at cocktail cruise speed.

While the performance is limited at this time we feel we have a niche market
that is unfulfilled at this time. She really runs better than you would
think.

I apologize - I was being a smart ass.

That is quite an accomplishment.

Congratulations.

Still think it would run better with a couple of Rolls Royce twelve
cylinder Merlins though. :)
