Here are some of the pictures my mom took for me. They are my first flights with my new Razor 600 from FMA Direct. I wont be able to fly it again for a couple of days cuz of a freak accident. I mounted the motor too close to the trailing edge, and on a roll attempt the prop bent just enough to catch the foam and rip out a couple of chunks. It also ripped off the motor shaft ( that is, before it bent the end of the shaft) and unscrewed the prop adapter*. The shake from the motor also disconnected the servo heads from the servo resulting in a 200ft death spiral almost to its death. Luckly, the wind was on my side! It pulled the nose up before it hit. No damge to the plane itself. I must say tho. this plane is a blast to fly! it does take a little getting used to but i have had enough time on my RC simulator that i could fly it with no problem. One more thing for anyone that might be planning on buying this plane. You MUST replace the 1/8 set screws with longer ones. The shortness in length causes them to come loose all the time(my prop fell off twice in previous flights, tho i must say, this plane glides very well).
Well i hope you enjoy the pics!!!

powering up after the launch. You have to power up slowly or else you will torque out.(oops):D

Hi Brandon,

Sorry to here about the prop damage, but looks like you have the hang of the old wing. Tell your mom nice job on the pics.
