RE: Fun with Flat Foam

Hiya bean!

I agree with Pecan and Kevin. The vertical fins should be right in line with the airflow across them. If they are not, you have very effective brakes.

Make sure the batt is...

Hi, Kev.

I don't know how to estimate speed very well. I know it's probably the fastest plane I have built, period. I would guess, conservatively, in the 70+mph range at 3/4 throttle. I am...
