My two video recorded flights today. I didn't bother with the camera on the Calypso, and so far, when I tried putting the camera on the Stinger, it shifted the CG too much aft. I'd have needed to add weight to the nose to correct it, and didn't want to potentially load the plane up too much.
The resurrected Sensei, now called Fawkes, needs the rates on the ailerons turned down. It took very little stick movement to throw her into a bank, which is much different than her flying characteristics with the original wing. I also need to reinforce the wing root mounting a bit, and those two factors motivated me to keep the flight short.
The Flite Test Simple Scout, however, is a nice flying foamboard plane. I can do a five minute flight on the 3S 1300 mAh battery.
