First, Second, Third Test Flight
 
Well yesterday was the test flight and had major problems. It wouldnt fly long at all cause everything would get screwed up when I reverse it and go back to normal. Well this morning I was looking at the setup and I had the piece that you connect the prop to on wrong. I fixed that and now it flies really good. I thought the plane would be unstable hovering nose down but it really isnt. The funny thing is that if you go into a snap roll and reverse the pitch it just gets stuck in a hover with the nose facing down and you just hold it and it stays!!!!! Now just have to get use to flying the plane :) I will have a video up soon.

Well guys no video sorry. Just went out to fly it again and had probably the worst luck ever. I was flying and having a good time when one of my connectors for the battery came off and I did put it on tight but it still came off and I was kind of high and I had no control over it and came down at a 45 degree downline and nailed a metal shed. I mean hit it really hard. I dont think any foamy could have lived through it. But it tore up my shocky yak and vpp system. So I probably lost 100 dollars just on that flight. :(

Hey,
I went back to the barn and my grandad actually fixed it all. So later this afternoon or tomorrow I am going to try it again and tape up those connections this time. Gosh hope nothing else happens.

Well so far we have it fix but the props were turned around so I just reverse everything in the radio and it work but it ran down the battery fast and the battery got really hot. So now I am trying to get everything back to where it was before the crash and hopefully everything will be okay.
