3DHS 71" AJ Slick - Maiden Flight

Please watch in High Def
Well, I finally got off my fanny, moved the Slick to the front of the line and got her done. So of course for the maiden, it was a windy day. At least it wasn't raining.
It turned out that my best guess at setting the CG correctly was off and the plane turned out to be tail heavy for its maiden. This did not seem to bother Harv too much as he kindly worked his magic and did an awesome job of flying the maiden so I could catch it on video.
Watch the "build list" video on this channel if you'd like a list of all the components I used to assemble this ARF. Although I was originally going to use a separate receiver pack in the plane, in the end I elected to save the weight and run the CC BEC Pro off the flight pack(s).
Many thanks to Harv for doing such a great job flying the tail heavy Slick for its maiden.
I couldn't resist adding the little clip at the end of the video and full credit goes to 2000Domma's channel for his video of a flash mob in Okinawa, Japan. This video has more than 10 million views and counting! Check it out.
