Posted: Tue Apr 11, 2017 7:13 pm
I finally got some decent weather, the other day. Charged up some 3S and 4S 1300mah packs and headed to my flying field with the Shuriken 180. 3S first....it lifted from the ground with no troubles and I just flew around the field a bit. It's got plenty of climb power, weighing 105grams less than my ZMR250, lol. I tried a roll and it was very very sluggish. Wasn't sure if it was going to make it all the way around, ha ha ha. I landed and plugged it into my laptop. I found that my Roll, Pitch, and Yaw rates were all set to 0. Oooops...forgot to change that in the preflight setup. I changed those rates to .45 and tried again. It flips very well. I have to say....this Shuriken 180 is great! I plugged in a 4S pack and it did not take long before my heart was pounding and my legs were shaking (no joke, lol). I could easily tell the difference between 3S and 4S. WOW! The power was amazing! What a great ride!!! I will try to mount my Mobius to the Shuriken next time.
Ok, so that's the update on the 180. Here's the "more" part...
The other day, I met a guy that lives only a few miles away from me. He is a member of a Facebook group that I've found for local flyers. He has a Fossil's Gravity 250 frame that he is looking to sell. He bought it late last year and he said it's just sat around. I jumped on it! He and I are going to meet tomorrow and then I'll be the new proud owner of a Gravity 250....which is the same frame that I was thinking about getting before I decided on getting the Shuriken 180. TOO COOL!!!
