E-Flite Rhapsody 25e
The E-Flite Rhapsody, my Christmas gift! Was a blast to put together. Only hitch was the rudder and elevators glued entirely too tight. Maiden was today, 1/21/11. It flew well with a Power 25, 12x8 prop and 3s 2200mah battery (about 330 watts). Flight times are short, I will need a 3300mah as recommended. I also tried 4s 3300mah and needed to prop down to a 11x7 (about 600 watts). The 4 cell setup was fast as expected and heavy. Takeoff required speed and a scale-like climb-out. No leaping into the air at that weight. In general, the plane is heavy. Mine came in at 4.5 lbs with the 3 cell setup. I like it, it's a looker, don't expect to 3D, enjoy watching it do sport acrobatics and low passes down the runway!
