I decided to take a shot at learning to do 3d flying and figured I'd build a simple plane to start out with. I went with the plans provided by @TooJung2Die .
First flight went better than expected. I'm sure it weighs more than it should (368grams with battery) and I definitely need to work on the DR and Expo. All in all not bad for a two day build. I used DTFB and a Flitetest 2210-1400kV motor (8x4 prop) with a 3s battery and 9g servos. These are the components I had lying around in my workshop. I'm sure it would fly better with a smaller motor and 2s battery. Gonna add some wingtips and small fences tomorrow. Maybe throw on a little bigger prop just to see what happens. Also need to do some research on what would be best DR and Expo rates. It's got some serious throw on all control surfaces.
