Building mistake on my new home made EDGE
Well today I have maiden my home project E540. It was a little windy but I couldn't wait. So started the engine,did the pre-flight check ( found reverse ailerons 
). So up we go. So nice so QL. Oppp something is flying of my plane!! Yes it was my right side of the elevator. The plane leaned left and the second half started to flutter. I tried to level the plane.... I i did it a little, then the half went solo flying. The plane crashed down. And it was not bad. A little fixing. New elevator is half built, everything else is ok. Even my prop was ok.
So don't build to lite!! Like i did.
If you work night hours like I do, look how you rotate the balsa.
Have fun all.
Btw,... I did much worse
