That looked really stable!Wind resistance testing completed! Uncut clip showing last couple passes and landing in 9+MPH with gusts. Wind flight edit compilation coming soon.

Surprisingly stable for its size in wind, as long as the throttle is kept toward the higher end, especially on turns. Didn't take me long to get it flying well even with the wind conditions.That looked really stable!
Did you get any video?I was impatient enough to maiden this plane in 15MPH+winds with gusts. She flies, and did a couple passes,but can not handle that level of wind. 850 battery on 10 mph winds not too bad. 17 mph winds with a 8.5 oz fully loaded plane with 650 battery was too light. Shredded a cheap prop and have a small bump on the nose , but the plane is fully intact and ready to test fully and dial in under ideal conditions, hopefully tomorrow morning.
Not of today's maiden and couple passes in the nasty wind. I probably should have, would have been kind of cool to see is last for a bit then just get dominated into a stall by the wind, but really just wanted to make the testing quick and less equipment to think about, so didn't record today🙁. I am gonna add a little bit of simple aesthetics and fit and finish type stuff and I'll be sure to get video of the flights when I test it and dial it in without all the wind.Did you get any video?
That would be quite an honor and really exciting to have such a great builder and pilot try my humble but quite fun little plane👍. It's always nice to get different people's opinions and perspectives, and you've been a great friend and help to me here so I definitely value your input and experience! As far as the design being done it is ready for launch(in all ways👍). I'm bad at plans but this is so easy it can be drawn by straight edge and I can send you all the measurements any time you'd like. I tried two prototypes and number one,which is still flying well,won out by a large margin.Do you have any idea of when this will be finished? I'd like to build one.
I'll have those measurements as soon as possibleThat would be quite an honor and really exciting to have such a great builder and pilot try my humble but quite fun little plane👍.

Alright, I should have some time here in a few minutes to start getting them to you. I will actually post them here on this public thread for anyone interested. Good to list the exact specs on its own build thread for more detail too.I'll have those measurements as soon as possible
