Noted lol!!!!! On my super sport I only ran the ailerons at 35% in the transmitter, and it rolled like a drill bit!!

Looks great, well done.
That red wing tip, you possibly thinking you will need it for orientation?

Red on a dark color especially black even in daylight up close it looks great and seems to have good contrast but 10 feet away they start to turn into one color.

Yellow is the most visible color at a distance in daylight and red is the least visible. That's why fire engines are usually yellow now instead of red.

It has more damage than you can see. On my setup, I feel like it was slower than the recommended as well.Bummer, but thankfully it appears to be a 10 minute repair job. Looks like there really is such a thing as way too much power.....

With the bigger motor and extreme power that you're using I'd go with nothing less than aircraft ply rather than lite ply for the wing bolt receiver plate and at least two hold down bolts. Plus ensure it is firmly glued on at least three sides. Based on the picture it looks like the receiver plate wasn't firmly glued into in the fuse on three sides as it failed in the middle. I still don't see a lot of time consuming repair though.

I've got the fuse almost ready to go again. The plate cracked against the side of the fuse.

Make sure it's glued to the fuse former as well and it should never fail again. Looking forward to the full throttle videos.

We've never had one fail like that.... over 300 GLH kits shipped out and I bet about 1/2 are flying. Most with our stock recommended setup.
This is with our STOCK recommended 1806 motor and 3 cell 500. Michael gives a very good demonstration of it's abilities and strength as designed. https://youtu.be/OaMXNUoksOY
