All is well with the world!! I can smile again!! I found my AeroAce this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went back out to the tree and took a tent pole with me to try and poke it down. Turns out it wouldn't have been long enough to reach it, but anyway. So when I got out there, a huge gust of wind came and shook the branch it was in pretty hard. The plane didn't fall out, so I knew it had to already be down. I climbed up to where I had gotten to last night, and sure enough, I couldn't see it. So I looked around from my perch for a few minutes, in the branches of the big trees, in the tops of the smaller trees, but couldn't find it. So I started down the tree to walk around looking for it on the ground. On the way down, not even looking for it at the moment, I saw it!!! About ten feet from my face in the top of a small tree. I extended the pole and knocked it to the ground. The plane was totally dead, I had been blipping the throttle trying to hear it, but the motors wouldn't turn at all. I hooked it up and it's taking the charge, so it should be okay. So glad I found it, now I can get back to life as I know it.

Ferndale, post some more pics of your canards. I'd like to see where you put them and at what angle, etc. Some pics from the top, front, and sides would be nice. You said you haven't tried them with a bipe; you've removed your lower wings or you bought a mono out of the box? I took my lowers off, made a huge difference. I liked it slower better, because you could fly in a smaller space, but it flies a lot better overall now.

McNeil, thanks for keeping my morals in check!!! I wouldn't have done it anyway, but it's good to see there are still good people out there.
