Default It flies!!!... sort of. Question.

Thank you Tom

3 more flights, 3 succesful landings. You know the feeling, when you get it up and you know that you are in control? Fantastic

I don't know how it works for most of the people, but I found years in Warbirds helpful with rc plane.

It seems that I've managed to build the plane tail heavy. The weight i had to add to balance, was too much for a direct drive speed400 and plane doesn't grab alt. So i decided to make plane lighter.

Was it called kit-bashing, when you do something different from a kit?

Maybe I'm taking too long steps in building, as in flying too, but the idea is good.

Next few days are goin to show, how it looks, when lowered from fuse behind cockpit. Less heavy Solarfilm. I'm also replacing some of balsa sheeting with sticks to make it even lighter. Some holes to stabs and so on.

I'm goin to take pics of it,when done and send here for yas to see the thing. Like Spitfire with long wings in white, dark red and dark blue
