SHX Stiletto Build

I made a 4th test flight with my Stiletto yesterday. The only change from the prior three was to use a spacer ahead of the motor to move it back a little. I had to cut it from a spent case and the actual thickness was .27".

Wind conditions felt very close to what I had flown it in before; very low. We could hardly feel any, but could see the tree tops moving a little in the distance. I used a C6-3 again, friction fit. It boosted straight, with just a slight hint of weathercocking. I was pleased with the result, and plan on modifying the engine hook to match the new motor location. After that it's off to the paint hangar, where I will attempt to not ruin it with a heavy paint job. It gets reasonably high unpainted with the C6-3 and I hope I can keep it close to that. If I can get an actual flight photo then I'll post it.

Mine has made many flights and it's still going strong. I still haven't flown it on a D13 but plan on it this spring. I think you'll enjoy yours a lot.
