Home Made Depron Foamy Bi-Plane Maiden Flight and crash

Just maidened my Depron Foamy! What an awesome flyer! I can't tell you how much fun and how awesome this plane is to fly and build. Two clicks of trim and flew like a champ. With the setup in the video I had unlimited vertical and good speed as well. Plans are here:

Unfortunately, the wing folded up on me mid-flight and the plane is now dead, but I will make a new one right away. The video is shot with 50% Travel Adjust and 65% D/R on all surfaces! I used a much stronger motor than recommended in the plans and didn't support the wing enough. Grrr...next one already planned...

WOW! I had never seen this type of plane flown, (I have one but it is still unassembled) I was very curious to see this thing in flight and I must say, impressive!

Another Great Dawghouse Productions Video!
