uhm, maybe the thrust angle of the motor?
And such little / light weight planes dont like wind at all, maybe you could try it on a very calm day or indoor.

Wings often don't have a very large flyable CG range, it may be that at the point between those two very different behaviours that it might actually fly.

G kindly sent me this beta kit.
Although some parts needed cutting & some parts needed making im still amazed at how well it came together & how accurate it is.












I'm determined to get this to fly - just gotta add the electrics & chuck it!

It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense...

Ok can I go into the queue for a 600mm version please G, I think I'd like to try one of these - they look brilliant.

looking great Martin, I reckon next time I try it, i'm going to try a flat wing, with no airfoil.

I'm away for work from Tuesday Steve, but when I get back next time, I will start looking in to the 600mm.

After many failed launches I seem to have found the sweet spot.

I increased the thickness of the wings & added a 'ton' of elevon reflex.
With the battery waaay out in front - it flys!



Large dots indicate current CG point.


There doesn't appear to be enough elevon authority - so I may have to make larger ones.
Also the thrust angle is out on my build.

It looks awesome in the air thou...



Well done G!

This is a fun project now...to be continued...
