That's right folks! 12S is now living in the Bushmaster. Today's remaiden was with two 6S 3700mah 45C Glacier lipo packs, Tacon Bigfoot 160 245kv motor, Castle ICE 160amp HV esc, and an 18x8 APC prop. What an awesome plane! It needs a bit of tweaking but it's very flyable.

I just found a minor "stress" mark on the landing gear. I'll have to put some thought into whether I should replace the landing gear or if I can just strengthen it before I try to fly it again.

That's no good Derek. Finding that stress mark before your next flight is a good thing. You wouldn't want to find out after you land. That wouldn't be a good thing.

Im also gonna buy some actual hinges for the tail control surfaces. All control surfaces on thia plane are taped on. I'm think the tail, more specifically the elevator, could benefit from some actual hinges.
