Those glides are the best. At least those landings are consistent... Looks like you put quit a bit of work to put that motor comparison together, neat to see them run not having seen many of those motors run before.

Kim your video went with a clear lens all the way to the session end.. how far was the camera placed from the plane's centerline on the Space Bug flight...with a rear mounted camera i.e. placed anywhere behind the engine I end up with castor smeared on the lens unless I place the cam mid wing or near the tip. But the further from the centerline I place it the more balancing weight is needed on the other wing of course.

Good weather on the corner here I will go and shoot some vids with the Toucan soon..

Well, I was concerned a bit about that...I ruined a camera several years ago because I just HAD to have a tail-forward view. On this fight, the Q-Tee was packing two cameras. I decided how close a side-view I wanted of the engine, then just moved the other camera on it's wing like a postal scale 'till the plane balanced.

Somehow, it made it through with only a few drops of castor hitting the camera.

This video should be called: "Filling Up a Key Fob Camera with Castor"!

Good luck with the Toucan...looking forward to videos!
