Good luck on everyone's maidens!

Hey @Zephyr1 , I noticed that you didn’t add the link for the Shinden in the original post.

I still need to touch up on the build instructions, and I might just have to brave the wind……

MiniacRC helped a lot on updating plans, and especially editing the build video, the plans are updated, but the updated build video needs to be uploaded.

Good luck. (I think I've said it like 5 times now), it seems like our two projects are the only ones making progress, I checked all the other threads and couldn't find anything recent, some had maidens and plans but no build videos/instructions, others didn't have maidens and or plans.

Yup, It's gonna fly, I know it is. Stable now. But it did roll over on its back on the test launch (with 3/4 throttle which might've been a bit much since it's got over a 1/1 power to weight ratio) Any Ideas why it did that??

lower your prop size maybe, also it may be that its top heavy, which can make it roll easily. How much dihedral does it have? Maybe try to mix in some aileron countering the throttle, like 5%, that might fix it. Are you gonna get a video of it flying?
