Flerken Maiden Flight!

First off I want to apologize for the crappy quality of the video but you can see it flies and man Miles you weren't kidding when you said the Flerken is a real floater. I couldn't get the on board camera on so there is no on board footage this time. My hat cam wasn't dialed in ether and a pesky Bee kept getting in the frame but you can make out that the Flerken is flying by. when I first tried to launch I hit full power and it spun me around on my feet so I tried again at  half power and off it went and I power on full and it climbed like a home sick angel the thing scoots at full power and floats under low power so much I miss judged the landing and put it in the top of a tree lucky I managed to use the prop to get it out of the tree.

Well done! Great looking plane and it flies, too. Doesn't get much better.

Thanks Mr NCT I can a test that the flerken really does fly.I have seen many videos on YouTube of flerken fails but I think it's because they get the CG wrong. Hey if you guys are going to scratch build one I highly recommend not cutting out any of the lightening holes in the base plate or the fuse I personally think they sacrifice too much strengthen and you can save yourself some work.

Good advice, that is why mine died. It is indeed a good flier.
