Not to sound discouraging but I don't think it will ever fly perfect. The design is inherently unstable, that's why it needed a computer to fly it, making 50 corrections per second.

I need to get some updated video... it is dialed in pretty well now, and it does have the gyro making those corrections on the pitch axis. It's not my most stable or aerobatic plane, but it does fly MUCH better!

you put a lot of effort into decorating a plane that didn't fly that well

[wilmracer]

@vanepico Well... I wouldn't say that at all. The plane flys much better than shown here as it was still tail heavy and hadn't been dialed in. It has since flown a few times and is getting better with each flight as I get the Gyro and CG worked out just right.

Also, the Depron is white on its own, and i just used colored Duct Tape for the striping, so all the detailing outside the cockpit took about 2 hours.

@wilmracer well it certainly looks awesome

@vanepico

Thanks! We'll get some updated video eventually. Unfortunately I don't usually have a camera person, so I try to make the most of it when I do.

That was a nice take-off, and a lucky one!
