AUW of the model is 110grams and had two minor accidents (pilot error :-[)

flight report:

1. due to poor build the two elevator half are slightly off and hence an bit of aileron effect !
2. the motor has more then required right thrust angle had been corrected by rudder but the model is very sensitive to trim
3. i already had two minor crashes but the 3rd flight was the good no problems encountered !
4. flight time was about 16min and then landed as the wind was picking up
5. oh the model starts to rock even with slight breeze at low passes

all in all I'm very happy with the model and radio worked fine without any hassle (pre-flight range check was done for 36 paces)
