Double Ender - STOL Redefined PROTOTYPE 1.0

[Taildragger]

I've flown it a few times. Spending most of my time on my QED.

any "interesting" tendencies?

any "interesting" tendencies?

It's sensitive to thrust angle and I haven't spent the time to sort it out. With the front motor mount perpendicular to the top of the nacelle it has too much up but it's easily flyable that way.

any updates?

Ya it flew good, almost no trim. I did as Mr NCT said with 5 degrees instead of 7 and that seemed right enough but I didnt really get a good feel for it yet. I made the throttle cut on 2 switches and was expirimenting flying on just the front motor and it was fine, but when I went to turn on the back one I hit the wrong switch and turned the front off. It was a little nose heavy and going very down wind so the split second of no power sent it straight down. Its repairable. I like the 3d printed ft legacy gear on it. It feels a little top heavy on the ground, but that seemed to go away in the air even with no dihedral.

Took it out again this morning. Fun fly, the only thing I can add is that it will spin. I don't know if spins are recoverable yet
The good news is that spinning in from about 30 feet caused no damage just popped the rubber bands off the wings.
