Default Maiden flight: Weston Magnum Electric (Update: #609 crash-video)

Well.. I had lost all hope at that time actually, because i never expected that it had enough thrust to hover the 2,5 kg's... It proved me wrong...

The ailerons however, did not have any affect, and the same when pushing the stick.. The throws was not enough to give any noticable effect... Pulling the stick did fortunatly give results, so i managed to get it away from me and get enough speed to gain roll-control....

Very scary, and i don't intend to do it again...

I'm building a laucher for it next, and until then, i'll use someone with a good arm...
