[RCSE] More Wedgie flights...

Flew about 6 flights today. This is one damn fun plane! I'm flying a little more full throttle now, but I enjoy 1/2-3/4 throttle too as the flights are longer but still with plenty of zip. No offense to the other electric wings but they're like trainers compared to the Wedgie. Albeit the Wedgie is
