Case of good news bad news. First she flew and was for the most part controllable. She still still pitched up but i think I had too high throw in all honesty as when I let off it appeared to fly much more controlled. It seemed to roll right on its own. I'm feeling like I may have to check my gyro again. I thought I've had it right but as we all know sometimes we miss the smallest things. She landed flat however it took out the gear as I didn't have time to retract them. Couple of things I'm going to look at are the rudders and the the elevon gyro setting

Might have to start over again. She took off straight and pretty as an arrow. Got up about 10-15 ft into the air and as if I had tossed full down elevator it dove right into the pavement. So she exploded and she's done... Just no idea what happened or what caused it. Just straight nose down. RIP N9Mb Salute (taps)

I'm going to revisit this. This time though I'm going to build it a bit smaller and lighter. Maybe go with a 3s setup vs the 4. Hopefully giving me the chance to mount the motors on the rear vs the shaft idea. Also going to do just the elevons vs the split rudder (at first) then activate the rudders later. Really just want to see a model of this fly. And being that the work comes from my hands will make it all that much sweeter. After I get it down on the smaller version I will rebuild the bigger one with the lessons learned. I will order retracts from the P39 to set it up
