I'll go with that! Yup yup, them darn wind rotors!

Being serious though, I am somewhat careful of winds that may be passing over the mountain faces. I have a fear of being sucked over the top and pushed into a radio blackout.

I think my plane, mainly the aft end, is flexing the faster I go causing wag. Right at that point I could feel it starting to wag. Any time I accelerate at a high rate or go over 55 mph it seems to cause wag. I think I need to center my rudder a bit better as well, this might contribute to the wag.

The ground recording for the flight, shortened. :)

After that I think I'll go back to paper darts..... :lol: :lol: .......really.....really.....cool.. 8-) 8-)

Have you tried some multiple angle shots on the same flight just to see what the control surfaces are actually doing.

Check out this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjbTcU-01Zk a Bixler 2, not as well built as yours but I was surprised at the movement.

That's cool, now you need a temp sensor.
Keep doing that and you will need IFF :lol: :lol:

Ah, I won't be doing that again except for over a mountain. Just needed to test the limits of the plane as it is before going out after larger mountains. :geek:
