Nice Tom, I have always wanted a larger Lippisch! I bought the MRC 64mm 3S version and right away upgraded the motor, ESC and went to 4S. She absolutely screams Tom, well over 100 mph with GPS onboard! Looks like you were maidening her at about half throttle, wait until you open her up! Yours fly's beautifully Tom, very smooth and predictable! Nice job; perfect plane to enlarge! Jim
Thanks jim! I used my freewing Lippisch to help me design this one -:) yes, the little one screams, and is so agile as well, love flying the 64mm. I think the 80mm COULD be fast, but I believe I screwed up the thrust line, so over 2/3 throttle it really wants to dive down. Maybe a throttle to elevon mix, worth a shot, or design a thrust diverter for the nozzle?
Hey Tom, yeah it looks as though your wing incidence may need to add about 5 deg to get the incidence you need at full throttle. Now I think (unless the wings detach) you're not going to be able to correct the thrust-line. A new model might be needed; not sure how you'd correct thrust-line of the tube, just wouldn't be affective enough? Hey, look at it this way; with a new model you can correct design changes you always wanted to anyways! 🙂
@@jimhenriksen498 I'll take it if you want to build it for me "A new model might be needed" LOL ! seriously, it's a little disappointing I can't rock it at full throttle, but oh well. I love that I can cruise around for like 7 min+ at lower throttle/ speed and it's still quite fun :) Thanks for the comment, and yeah maybe I need to build one with a 80" wing/ 120mm fan ?? And for sure with detachable wings- it may all be just the ticket to break my brain🤣 🤪
Super smooth flying!! Love the twilight flight videos. Gorgeous
Tom great flying and fantastic looking Lippisch, zoom zoom zoom Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff! Appreciate the watch, yeah I am quite happy with how it turned out 😊

Nice flight Tom 😎
Thanks Bob! I need someone with a big Dehaviland Swallow to give a good chase😎
