Wow nice flight Cheluvraj What happen at the end? :headscratch:
I think its a bit tail heavy.. or The motor is overpowered.. Why it is always facing up..
Hope all electronics are safe... Congrats for your first flight..   :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks Arun. not sure what happened  :headscratch: . I really need some experts views on this.
I mounted battery and other thing just behind the motor.  so literally nothing at tail.
Luckily only the motor mount broke. rest everything is fine. tail caro needs rebuilt.

Thanks

Not too clear but it looks tail heavy... may get stable with some weight at nose.

Also how heavy is the plane??

Mr. saurabh,

Dude this looks really fast... Try changing the motor to a less powered one like emax 2822 with 1047 will be very good for this.. You feel better while flying with that motor..
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
