Hi. The new plane was a mini depron cozy canard based on the plan designed by Astroboy. ( Many Thanks to Astroboy for kindly sending me his plans ) Sunday's maiden was'nt successful somehow and the canard wing was also bent on landing head on - too weak I guess. Also first time trying a pusher configuration using DWE stuff -- so guess got to keep trying and trimming to see if it will fly. Will certainly try it out again on National day !! AUW is about 37 g for the almost 24 inch long depron plane. After the unsuccessful trial that morning, I kept the plane in the car so that I could concentrate on the GWS SS trial. Too bad the SS trial also went haywire ( broken prop, rudder and bent motor shaft after just one trial flight) but thanks to the seasoned guys at the field ( Loyn, kelvin, Alvin, Shadow and Jephry...etc) the plane was repaired. Now I see why U need the tool box .....
BTW, Artyspec's video was excellent. Guess we can have more videos in future ?
Will post some pics later on as I do not have them with me now.
