Maiden of my differential thrust, 4 motor mini Lidl challenge. Was it Mission Impossible?

[Bonzodog]

A couple of weeks ago I decided to try and build a mini Lidl RC plane with 4 brushed motors and differential thrust and elevator for flight control. A crazy challenge some said. How did it work out?

Here's the quick build blog and a very windy maiden. It was a long hard road and it's quite a long video, (there was a lot of testing) but you can skip to the maiden at 16m 46s.

Is it time to quit?

I've got a cheap little foamy fighter with two motors that works, just about, on differential thrust. Needs a calm day!
