Title: Scratch built model ''Fat Girl''
Post by: AnjanBabu on August 13, 2013, 06:07:50 PM
Fat Girl was my second scratch build and my first 4 channel model  ;D

The maiden flight was unsuccessful due to my noob-ishness.  :banghead:
I skipped on preflight checks and the reversed elevator controls got the bird to crash, in a duly spectacular way.  :giggle:

Thanks. I did use some online calc to plot the CG. I'm gonna try your suggestion on my next model.  :thumbsup:
