Default RE: Twisted Tail of a TF Contender Build

Well I was going to hold off on the maiden test flight report from last weekend as I wanted a video to go with it ( no one else showed last weekend to take the Video for me ) BUT will get a video this weekend ...with that all said ...YOU bet it flies and very well ..."T" tail stayed on after bashing it around the sky ... very slight trim was needed on the aileron's ...three click's of up on the elevator ( I had put three down in before take off to keep it on the ground till I was ready ).

Fast? yes very fast with the GMS .47 swinging a 10x6 APC makes a very cool whistle sound with the front cowl open the way it is ..I would think the video will get the sound .... I was able to make 2 flights of 8 minutes each ...took the wing off to check all nuts a bolts and found that i had a 1/2 a tank of fuel left ...should get an easy 15 minutes out of it...

Stand by for the vid after this weekend

cheers
