Hello;
To start off; ;)
i am really bad at build threads. They Often go In-Complete. ;D
So i am just reviewing this craft.
I have done a mix flight and review kind of video.
Please turn on the quality to 720p as the video (flight) is a bit poor. :giggle:
I am ready to answer any questions regarding the plane.
There you go:

@Prabal276, quite good video editing, but I have a suggestion. You may show a close up of the model and describe the electronics/ materials used ,in the beginning of the video,  which would be a better start. And yes, the plane is really fast with that APC prop. Is anybody sitting there on the field where you landed?

@prabal276,
Well done. Maiden flight as well as maiden video. {:)}

Next:
Why does she go up and down, up and down like a roller coaster?
Possible reasons:
1. You are over controlling the elevator. (Quite likely) Be gentle. Relax.
2. You are over controlling the throttle. (Not very likely) once you reach treetop height, reduce throttle. See how much throttle is required to maintain level flight. As long as you do not move the controls too much, the power reqd will be much less than you think!
3. Check if the CG is farther back than intended.

Suggestion:
Forget about how to make good videos for the present. Take that up separately later.
Concentrate on flying smoothly. That's more important than an excellent video.

Let me know if you want to see sample videos to illustrate this point.

Well done again!
Regards.

@ K K Iyer
Sir;
I was nervous. the plane was rocking up and down because my hands were jittery and no EXpo/ DUals were dialled in.
i would surely like to see those sample video clips.

" Is anybody sitting there on the field where you landed? "
Yes! there were some workers. They were pre warned and did not care to move.
I had to pin the plane down to the ground so that it does not hit them

That is a problem when your plane weigh 1Kg! If it falls on someone's head/ body from above (when you lose control ) ,  think of this when you fly in any field. Be extra careful!

@prabal276,
Here are two examples of no elevator input following launch.
Just throttle reduction after about 5 seconds (Fantasia), after launch at about 80% power.
Throttle cut at about 20 seconds (Sunbird), after launch at 60% power.

observed sir!
Nice flying field BTW
better than mine (railways ranjhi stadium)

prabal276

To fly any pusher;
up elevator has to be given after launch to compensate for the initial imbalance caused by the weird motor angle.
It was advised on FT forums.
I just cant remember where
