Here's a video of it flying. I had a good flight indoor, chasing the penny planes around the ceiling... weighs 20 grams so it made the penny plane fliers nervous, but somehow I screwed up the video. We were chased out of the gym because they were setting up for the pre-schooler's lunch (gotta love summer vacation) so I got an outdoor flight.
I trotted out to the middle of the field, maybe faster than I should have, which caused the heavy breathing. The hard left thrust adjustment and the drag tab that I needed for the indoor flight were still on it. It was breezy and I launched a bit to far right of the wind. The model turned left, into a gust, climbed sharply, stalled and fell to the grass. I picked it up, and with the turns remaining on the motor, simply launched it again, this time to the left of the wind, resulting in the flight you see.
