Default first tests

hey guys,

Did the first system and taxi-tests yesterday!

found some issues, most importantly in the swing-wing electronics: for some reason these don't work everytime.... mybe an issue with battery placement, or the output from the powerbox... I'll need to check that....

the taxi-trial went perfect, gear holds up perfectly, the sound of the two turbines is unbelieveable!!! brakes work perfectle as well.. our field was very wet and soggy, but yet, even at half throttle, she accelerates véry good!!!

I'll just need to iron out the last bugs, and then she's off!!!!
