I ranged checked it a few times on the ground with no problems, unfortunately the engine wasnt running... However, I taxied quite a bit at a fairly large distance also with no problems, as soon as it hit the air the last time, it started going crazy, no matter what speed the engine was running. I quickly thought of killing the engine in mid air while it was acting up so I could eliminate any ignition related interference and come in deadstick, but things happened so quickly and the plane was so low I didnt have time, so I managed to bring it down under power, but it wasnt pretty. The prop broke, and landing gear broke off, so I havent had a chance to ground check it with the engine running. BUT I guarantee it will be done before the next flight.

It was pretty nerve wrecking seeing my freshly built money pit flailing around uncontrolably in the air, now that my first crash is out of the way, hopefully I figure this thing out. The little bit I was able to fly it, the engine is AWESOME. Tons of power.
