New RC plane maiden flight - my new number one model!

I have a new favourite plane! Great maiden for my Ranger 1600 and the the tx switch I'd programmed meant no dive into the deck when hand launching. Some nice aerial footage in my video. And hopefully soon to become my FPV plane.

If it has too much down thrust angle, mix enough throttle with the elevator till you can adjust the throttle without giving it more up elevator.... This is pretty common with this style of flyer.

I need to jump the pond and fly with you and @CarolineTyler some day! Or perhaps y'all should come to Flite Fest!

Yes, might try that though the ELRS and Speedy bee are going in next few days and I'll have to do some more research to work out how to set up a trim switch first. 😥.
I love the idea of flight test. Send the tickets and flights. Economy class will be fine. 😎
