Anybody else scratch building tonight?

got it built, first pass at programming flight modes, etc done
only things left are:
  • Put on some vstab tabs on the wing tips
  • Figure out a way to add elevator reflex (not sure if trim will be enough or not)
  • Possibly switch to only 2 flight modes and a separate way to enable/disable yaw as I am not sure how the split behavior (roll mostly at the tips, pitch mostly in the middle) will work with the yaw idea.
Build log (which didn't get many pictures as I got in in a flow and forgot to take them): https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/split-elevon-wing-test.67556/

i think i'll stick with tape for now, since i bought four colors from radical rc.

painting looks like another learning curve and some new equipment, from what i've read so far.
might be a fun project for next winter.
either way, i prefer to maiden first, it case it doesn't fly (well) if all looks good, and it can handle some more weight, i will apply some color.
this is a new thing for me, since i reduced the plan 10% and have to figure out the power system.
