Default RE: my new 1.8m profile plane

I have made the maiden flight today. It was the first sunny day since a while. It was a windy but not too much.



I fly usually some pattern planes. Then the 3D fly is not my speciality. The idea behind the construction of this plane was to have a medium size cheap 3D plane to have some fun without any stress.

The flying characteristics are amazing. In particular if we recall that this plane is just an assembly of foam without any expensive parts. Moreover, the construction from A to Z is quite quick.

The knife edge fly is very easy without any particular corrections. The torque seems easy (need to check without wind). The rudder is very powerful.

If you would like to obtain some details about the construction of this plane, just ask. I can even share the plan.
