Third test flight
Flight Characteristics-
Needs a lot of engine during flight, but otherwise it flies great. I had a problem with the left aileron, it EZ holder kept slipping and it got stuck with left trim all the time. I tried to fix it in the field but it didnt work.
Here is the Video -

Changes made:
1. added a section to the nose
2. added ailerons in the top side of the wing
Results -
Here is the Video of the second test flight session-
I still had to add a second battey even with the extended nose. But the ailerons made a huge difference.
April 19th -
Major problems found is test session -
- In order to get the correct CG I need to use 2 batteries in the nose which make the plane to heavy.
- I am not getting enough aileron movement – need to rethink the ailerons

The first test flight session ended with some changes and modifications done onsite and some that will be done later during the week.
