Funny you got this, I literally just flew two of them for the first time couple of weeks ago to maiden and set up for two of my students. Such a nice easy plane and looks awesome in the sky. Nice vid mate, some shots over the trees look like a dozen nat geo docos I've watched. Nice part of the world Washington, bit cold for me though haha.

A bit cold for me too Shirty! LOL
Thanks, I don't know what it's like not to fly around tall trees. It's all fun and games until a model goes down in the woods. Not that that has EVER happened to me before! :Silly::Not-Talking:My YouTube RC videos:

No flying today - winds near 30 ish.
But, I did get the L-4 Cub ready to go again. New motor, AR636 Spektrum reciever, and loaded into my DX6.
The Carbon Cub now has a RunCam installed over the wing - app is on the iPad and appears to be doing it's job nicely.
Adagio glider repairs are underway - found a broken CF rod after her "out of control" landing...jury still out on the motor salvage.

Been helping a club member come back to flying after several years and buddy-boxing him on my Eflite Carbon Z Yak 54. He has not wanted to take-off or land. Today's second flight began with me telling him to take the f**king thing off. He did. After a 6 minute flight he brought it in for a landing that was almost a perfect 10. Flew several more times with varying result but at least another near 10 landing. Woo-hoo Eddie - Keep it up.

Maidened this scratchbuilt airplane for a friend. He wanted to see it fly no matter what. I told them there were some concerns w the wing rigidity and servo response. He told me it was all good, he followed the guidelines from the diy kit.
As usual, if I crash it am not liable, he agreed and off we fo to the flightline for a hand launch. I thought it was just going to fall flat as it is four times heavier than a Tundra. I tried to get him out of the maiden, but he wanted to see it fly.
3/4 throttle and straight launch forward and in the air it was. Immediately went two mistakes high. The excessive wing flex I had told him worsened once in the air. Not aure if his gyro was set incorrectly, wing flex may have confused it, I had almost to none left aileron. So rudder, and rudder was not responding. To test out I killed power and gave it throttle and it indeed had good signal. The flex worsened and it literally looked like a bird flapping lol. Realizing I had no left aileron and rudder, wing flex, erratic gyro, decided to bring it back still two mistakes high, a slight right letting it fly w the wing and not w barely any motor to minimize stress but they collapsed like a taco inward, banked roll srraight down, killed power, but it just spiraled burying itself into the cornfields.
