Setting up Altus

Yesterday I was at my parent's house to set the CG and deflections of my Altus. I have to change the battery pack for a smaller one to make it lighter. I will keep you informed!!! Thank you very much for your help Mike.

Altus Premier

After a very exciting week following wc by webcam (10 Points for Organizers), now is time to think in Munich,next Season and next WC (China?) Dani and Alberto made their first f3b flights with Altus (In one or two weeks mine will be ready). First impressions: Altus is an easy plane to fly and loves ballast.

They were working with launch settings (highest altituded was 281 meters, very good "score" in Spain) and making some speed flights with some ballast. Now is time to fly, fly and fly to get 110% of this amazing and original plane.
