Built my first MICRO SPAD .
The plane is based on the Tuffy design from RC Groups but Modified especially the wing and the material.

It flew great but very very sensitive in every way . The build was tough any small positional change of any component would affect the CG , as a result the plane proved its name before the successful flight it survived possibly a couple of dozens of direct nose hits without damage , the Pilot survived as well
.
Here are some photos .
The Video is in Saju's camera will post it ASAP .
You can see where the plane got its name in the Video.
