It flys.

I took it out this morning. Did a glide test. That didn't go too well. The only damage all day was doing that. It nose dived into the ground and crunched the nose. But hey its only foam. First flight was a bit sketchy. The air brakes caused too much up elevator and made it hard to keep level flight. I removed half of it and that was much better. The only other issue is that it has a torque roll to the right at 1/2 throttle or higher. So i need to reposition the motor to compensate for that. It was a bit gusty which made for a twitchy flight. I don't think any FPV gear will be going on it but it was fun to build and has a real menacing presence in the air. I will put the key chain cam on it next flight, but that could be a while, cause the wind returns tomorrow. Video is uploading so be patient TONY
