I have tasted the sweet taste of r/c flight. will report back on it soon, don't have the time now.
Sounds like it was a success. Hope so.

Unfortunately my triplane's maiden wasn't. Trio of errors
1) Slightly tail heavy
2) Excessive elevator travel
3) reverse exponential (installed a Hitec radio in this plane, I normally fly JR, guess I got confused) :stupid:

Ah well, live and learn. It's an exciting video, I'll post it when I get it converted. Very little damage (managed to coax her to the tall grass) and she's just about ready to try again.... guess this will be 2nd maiden flight jitters?
