The Easy Star is a rudder / elevator trainer type of aircraft. Fitted with a brushless electric motor and 3 cell Lithium Polymer battery (2100 mAh capacity), flight times in excess of 30 minutes are easily possible. Here are three videos of the initial flights of this amazing model aircraft. Maiden flight video: This video is of it’s somewhat unconventional maiden flight. For a trainer type aircraft it seems quite happy performing inside and outside loops, inverted circuits and high G turns. For experienced pilots it is still loads of fun.
Low and Slow video: This second Easy Star video shows the aircraft on a calm day flying low and slow around a small field skimming the grass, hedges and me.
Climb and Glide video: This was supposed to be a quick climb and glide with the Easy Star. 60 seconds of power followed by a big glide back down. On this blustery day I didn’t expect to find any thermals or lift, but the model just kept on going up and up.
