Status: offline 		Well I completed my first SPAD - DasPlasStick. I made it into a tail dragger with skis. My first flight lasted about 2 seconds. I was not ready for how responsive it was going to be. This was my first try at a tail dragger. I was holding up elevator to keep the tail down until it got up to speed. It took about 15 feet an went vertical. It then went the oposite of vertical (straight down). Slamed into the ground and broke the motor mount. If this was a balsa plane it would have been destroyed. Coro is great

I made my own design for the ski setup. Once I get a chance to take it up again I can comment on how well it works.
