Okay folks.. I've been airplane RCing for about a month now.. And I've just built and successfully glided my future park flyer! My own design and scratch built.. Just had this insperation and sat down and built it.. No plans or templates.. Just built it..
The intent is a SLOW flyer for flying indoors with moderate aerobatic capability. Semi-symetrical wing, V tail, and all balsa covered with saran wrap.
I do think I goofed.. The tail section needs to be about 3 times the size, but works for now. Just need the electronics now
Let me know what you think!

the v tail is too small and the wing will probably be a bit weak, but it looks like it will fly

Looks cool. Are you going to use electric power?

Well.. The saran wrap plane flew under electric power.. But on it's 2nd flight, the main wing folded after about 10 seconds..Has since been replaced with a GWS cub.. The cub is great for anyone interested!
After it was mortally wounded it has been reduced to scrap now some of it braces the motor mount on the GWS cub.. So I guess it still flys in a way..

i think part of the reason you crashed is that it looks like an unstable model. the V tail is small, and the wing is low , with no dihedral, plus, no aileron controll.
