To the FliteTest Community,
Just a quick article on our latest project with our latest program installment to the MESArcFF program called ELITE. The Expansion of MESArcFF has always been a goal for the program, in 2014 this will become a reality. Ex MESArcFF students as well as other high school students from Loveland High will have the opportunity to expand the skills learned in MESArcFF at the next level. The Engineering concept will still take place, however, increased rigour in projects as well as involvement in local aeronautical industries will take place. This program will also continue production on content to be displayed on our show, so stay tune with where the Elite students can take the program.
The students of ELITE are taking us to the production of the MF-18 scaled up 200 percent, they wanted to do something huge as a way to say thanks for HUGE support that all the KickStarters had done for the start of the program. If we could not have raised those funds, this program would have failed to exist and the cool opportunities these students are tackling this year would have been just dreams. Well ELITE is a reality now and there is some cool projects in development as we speak.
Enjoy the video and thanks to all for your on going support of the program, we are trully blessed to have such a great community here at FliteTest.
HUGE THANKS!

What is the recommended power/esc/battery setup?
What type of servos did you use (still the typical 9gm size?)
What is the wing span and model length at 200%?
Are the elevators on the revised plans (July 4th or something) on the normal size plans big enough for the 200% upscaled plane? You mentioned that the elevators may not be big enough for such a larger plane? What do you recommend in the size of elevator (length or width, or both?)
thanks for your time.
