Update: I made some changes to the location of the EDF and made the wing a KFm-4. It flew on the first toss. One step forward!! Unfortunately I'm sure the battery shifted back during flight because it kept going nose up after a few circuits. It ended up spiraling straight to the ground. Luckily I was flying in a field with very tall grass and it only knocked the motor off. My camera crew (wife) is away and I have no video footage. Will remount the EDF and give it another shot tomorrow. Gonna set my camera up on a tripod for tomorrows flight if the weather holds.

Before photos and the last is the after crash.
