ive actally had the chance to fly the plane for the first time today i did a little vid of it,its not pritty but she is still in one piece,the plane is alot more responsive than i thought it would have been and i stalled the engine at the end but managed to land it luckly.
i went to try again but could not get the engine started again my glow wand is playing up, here is the vid its only 45 seconds long but im just glad that i got to fly it.

That is brilliant m8.  Doesn't need much of a run way to take off does it?!   I felt nervous watching it on the vid - you must have been 'jelly for legs' actually flying it for the first time.   You kept your cool after the engine stalled and landed it nicely too - that couldn't of been a better first flight mate!  Excellent  !

Graham,

Very nice m8, and the most important thing is that even though the flight was a little shakey (with the engine stall), you still got it down in one piece. Your first successful landing is a big mental block to get through, and you'll find that you'll get leaps and bounds better now! Just be careful, don't fly it too close to yourself (or others) 

Have fun, and good luck!
