Seems about right. The lense gets all wet and foggy right before you get that perfect launch. I like to preset a switch in my radio that gives me 25% up elevator for launching. Then you can throw it in stability mode or manual mode and it will fly right out of your hand. That launch you did perfect, I toss it straight up in stability mode about 3/4 to full throttle and the auto level brings the nose down perfectly. By the time the nose comes down I got my goggles down and can switch off the stability and my launch switch and I'm gone...
@@unger_cnc great wing tho. I'm turning my beat up AR 900 into a CARpirinha by putting a 1000kv motor and 10x5 folding prop on her. I flew it the other day with a 4500mah 4s lipo and a tmotor F80 1900kv motor and 7x45 flash prop. For 15 minutes and she was very fast and stable. Then I started thinking about redesigning it to carry the load and use it better.
@@jamesordwayultralightpilot nice. I wish they made the caipirinha a little bigger. It would certainly help with the heavy wing loading. Cool you’re utilizing your ar900 though. Always fun to experiment with different setups. I recently just bought a Zohd Dart XL extreme. Love the look of it and it seems to have much better flight characteristics vs the caipirinha. Haven’t flown it yet, but I’ll get a video up once it’s fully set up.
@@unger_cnc it's my phoenix plane for sure. Everytime I crash I just glue it back together and it always flies again. I can't bring myself to retire it and salvage the electronics because who knows how many more flights she has left in her. I was so surprised at how well it flew with that giant battery in it now here I sit waiting for my motor lol
Can somebody help me with the setup here to rock my caipi on? I recently bought a kit without electronics and now i want to set it up for the first flight but infortunately the most parts tbs recommends are not out there anymore. Can you guys help me a bit here? What is the current best bang for the buck (i dont mean cheap) setup to fly a caipi2 on?
Love the commentary. My thoughts exactly on maiden day and when everything actually works as it should. Well done
Thanks!

yeah i definitely should have done that switch on my radio for 25% elevator up. would have helped a lot lol
