    Flight Diary

I built this plane from a kit.  For what I bought it for, it never has done.  I thought I could learn 3D flying and hanging from the prop.  It really doesn't do that well.  When I completed the kit, it was very nose heavy.  I had to add about 6oz of lead to the tail to get it balanced.  After flying it like that for a while, I relocated the rudder and elevator servos to the tail and removed the lead.  I took a long hiatus from flying this plane because it just wasn't that fun.  Recently (2009) I started flying it again and it has it's purpose.
