BUILD IT!!!! BUILD IT NOW!!!

Just finished, but it's too dark to Maiden. What a fun little no frills build. I'll whip up another one and film the build when I'm back from a tradeshow next week.

Have a feeling this little guy is going to be perfect for in the trunk of the car!

My only concern is the really long servo rods....lot of flex and not much room to put zip ties in. Next build I may try moving the servo's around for better angles.

Stay tuned!

Maiden flight complete! She flies great even in gusty winds (~15mph ish)

Took me 7 nickels to get the CG right. Taped them up in a roll and crammed them as far forward in the nose as possible and no issues with a 2S 1000mAh and smaller 450mAh.

May build up another wing with aeilerons in it for some more fun.
