So I finally buckled and bought a mini. Technically, it's my daughter's, and she'll help build it, but since she's 7, I'll be the flyer on the card and the one doing the epoxy...
Anyway, we're thinking of going several directions so a couple questions for the forum before we start the build...
1) should we or shouldn't we get the APE 38mm nosecone sled? It looks fairly awesome, but I don't mess with LiPo batteries, and I'm not sure a switch, RRC2+, and a 9V would all fit. But, the ability to do electronic deploy would be great. What have you all done with your minis?
2) 24mm motors are nice and cheap. I've got CTI 3- and 6-grain casings as well as the standard AT24/40 case. What kind of performance are you all getting out of the various 24mm motors? Am I looking at E flights, F flights? This will be fun to fly on the cheap.
3) mini rail buttons out standard? Or both? What're your thoughts?
