I dont think I did a final measurement but it was a little infront of the 22% mark. Maybe around 18-20% was where I flew it at.

Already working on a 18650 lid/holder for the weather station. No more AA batteries.

The Bam Bam flew away without a care in the world.

That was so awesome. I’m 100% bringing a night flier next May.
The Bam Bam did go down.. that was a heavy hit. Neither pilot saw the other plane. They connected down low in the center.

That's always the blind spot.

Yeah, I came up the hill only a few minutes after it went down. The photo looks like the Bam Bam just cruised away like nothing ever happened.

Just put in a sunset parts restock order from aloft 
I think next year im going to try and have a specific container for combat repairs. Not just for on the hill, taping up that skyhunter was super funny, but i mean for the bambam's or whatever we use for combat. We had some pretty good repairs this year. Been geeking out watching gridfinity videos (3d printed tool organizing).
Thanks @gp49 for the tungsten bits, they will be put to good use.
cordless dremel was getting used a bunch, that's a definite bring next year.
Thanks @Red for some generator power, those foggy mornings were not helpful on the solar. enough to keep the starlink and weather station running but not enough to recharge what we used during the previous work night.

Yep, cordless dremel is all I use anymore.
After seeing 2 or 3 combat planes with ripped out pushrods I'm thinking of burying the rods in my next build. But my super light rods have never taken damage after many many years of combat. Sometimes lighter and smaller is better.

maybe servo covers? Or install the arms upside down and have them exit the foam in straws or something?
