This is the maiden of the SuperEZ I bought in used condition from Facebook marketplace.

There were a couple of things that erked me. The transmitter, a FlySky 4 channel was a poor example of the quality that FlySky now produce. I'm so glad I have the 10ch FlySky. The battery was puffed when it got to me. The previous owner said they flew it just once (I believe them as the plane was in excellent condition) but I fear they charged the battery to full and never discharged it down to 3.85V (the default level setting in my charger). As we all know, keeping a LiPo at full charge for more than a couple of days is asking for trouble.

As I left the field the second time after putting two batteries through the plane (10 minutes each), the guy who was flying the glider you see in the video launched another of his models, of which he had at least three in total. He slammed into the ground at launch. He said he had the wrong model selected on the transmitter. we both cringed.

Lesson? Make and correct as many of your mistakes on the ground!
