I finished mine this weekend and other than destroying an engine on maiden flight it flys great.
I have some other threads started about the over speed in a dive problem I am having.
I think I have it resolved now.
I noticed you used 1/4 scale servo's I didn't/
and was not able to pull out of a high speed dive.
But I changed the elevon servo's and the engine and got two more perfect flights out of it.
I plan on putting counter tabs (what ever you call them) on the outboard ends of the elevons.
mine is 88 x 36 and fueled it weighs 5.25. I put landing gear on mine I need it to help give some forward weight.
with the os 46 and apc 11x4 it has unreal vertical climb and prop hanging is a breeze.
I put my first three flights on in about 15-20 mph winds.
Take off roll is about 5 feet.
I plan on trying a vertical take off this weekend. With the way I built mine it sits straight up and down on the rudder and elevons.

I will let you know how it goes

I just wanted to thank you for the idea.
