I had a couple more flights and then the horizontal stablizer fluttered and came off. no control left with no tail and She basically be came an 85cc lawn dart. Before that it was flying well. previously my neighbour had damaged the tail by stepping on it while he was holding it for me. I think my repair job was not the best and thats what caused the flutter. Live and learn.
I could not get the flap doors to work properly so I did not add them, paint was latex paint which I love, Tamiya is great put far to expensive, I used a Dle85 and flew 1/2 throttle most of the time.
It is a floater and the flaps are great
no bad characteristics. I would consider building another, I put the gear in a Tony Nijhuis Hurricane.
