Here are just a few of the many comments we at www.steelheadproducts.com have received:

Flew a few times today with a 7x1000SCR pack. AUW is a little over 25oz but the BLITZ seemed fine with the weight. And the 16/15/3 pull this airframe GREAT!!!!!!! Got a 6x5 and 6x5.5 coming in the next few days. It should be ridiculous with those in the nose! So far its a great design and Im having lots of fun with it. The 16/15/3 is incredible in the nose.

"Wow, Dean ...I built the second Blitz I got from you a year ago when you had that <SALE>...and I had a most enjoyable maiden flight last night followed by two additional flights." "Bottom line ...You got a real winner here ...! Thanks for all your design work!" "This was an enjoyable build and the results were very pleasing"

"It is a joy to fly, ROG's fine with a 9/6 APCe prop ....you also can handlaunch it UNDERHAND and it's up up and away..! I'm using 3S 1500 lipos mostly with an occasional 3S 2200 pack ..."

"We strapped a GPS unit to the top deck the other day and recorded a 98 Kilometer speed while in a dive ....nearly 60 mph ...so that's truckin..!"

Dean, You've got a winner here. With a 6v speed 400, 2.3:1 gearing, 8x6 prop, and just a six cell KR-600AE pack it climbed straight out into the wind. It climbs great, and although I did an inside loop and a roll, I won't really know how it flys until I try it under better conditions. I tested the power off glide and with the wind it was hard to tell how flat it glides, though it remained stable and responsive. Powered back up and basically went around a pattern and came in to a nice smooth
landing.

FYI, the way mine is set up with six KR-600AE cells, it weighs about 14 ounces. I think it is good for an intermediate trainer because the wing loading is quite low. I'll let my son fly it, and then progress to an 8 cell pack and may start cutting down the wing span.

We just got back home today after a 20 hour drive straight thru from NC. I wanted to let you know that those little 15 dollar planes were worth every penny. Lets see 15 dollar plane and 200 dollars worth of fun. With this being my first time slope flying and my friends first adventure with rc airplanes (he has been a full scale pilot for many years) I did not want to spend big dollars on something that might not be our cup of tea. Several minutes into my first flight I was hooked, my buddy took a little longer and had to make several walks of shame to the dune floor (me to). By the end of the first day I was hooked. Between the hang gliders and the funny pink planes (heard from an on looker) we were quite an attraction. With several visitors to the dune taking photos I'm sure we will end up in someone's photo album. In closing I will say for anyone wanting to try slope soaring on a low budget the Floyds get my vote. Thanks
