It was really fun! and here is the video;

This is a cut-down version but the original flight was about a FULL minute! What an awesome hobby!

I've already lost about 10 props by now

This was my first off-simulation flight ever!

Good job and Welcome!!

Very nice flight for a first timer! looks like you're a natural!

Thanks for your comment! The previous attempts were just direct crashes upon launch... The 4th launch is this one and this time there was wind and it helped a lot! Then I've realized that my previous launch speeds was too low... Now I have a bigger motor (since this one has a bent axle now ) and launch is much easier... I think versa is pretty much a stable plane though...

Great job! I was in the very same situation (with the Bloody Wonder) just a few months ago, so this video made me smile, because I know exactly how you feel. Congrats on a successful maiden. You think its fun now? Man, it only gets better.

I agree with xuzmw720

Keep it up!

Nice flight, you should swap it to pusher.. less chance at bending the motor shaft and even more fun to fly

It was a pusher initially but my motors are too heavy to balance them without extra weight and I didn't have the guts to do so... Maybe I should try again...

"Build, fly, crash, repeat"....that's what they say. Fun, fun. Nice video, anacierdem. If you haven't already seen, there is a thread for the FT Versa Wing over here:
