Solved FT mini F22 build finished and maidened (crashed)

[FlyingInTheSkies(for now)]

Hello! I have finished my 3rd ever build, the mini f22. It was really easy to build and looks great. However, some parts didnt fit well since my cutting skills were bad and i forgot to adjust them due to using 6mm depron instead of 5mm. Otherwise, a little tape packaging brought it to life with a bit of french style :0
During the maiden, the plane went down at the groud after take off, at a lucky angle so it only resulted in a hard landing and a bit of the nose coming loose. Very quick fix did the job and it ready for next weekend's flight. (The pics are of it after the fix lol the crash did not change a thing) The crash turned out to be a wrong connection, since i put the left servo in channel 2 in stead of 1 and vice versa, reversing the elevator (it was about to be dark so in the hurry i forgot to check....never again...)
Otherwise, Its looking great!

EDIT: you can see how the parts were overtrimmed in the fuselage, resulting in a lock mechanism being used.

The battery (3s 850mah) had to be shoved at the very back of the fuselage or else it was way too muchhead heavy.

Glad you were able to figure out why it crashed! Good luck on your next maiden!👍
