I think Nigel has it. Put your servos and motor within range of that much magnetic radiation and see what results. Wouldn't have to have any effect at all on your RX/TX to result an uncontrollable...

Insta-Set residue

I don't care much for CA adhesives, and thus use them infrequently. I recently discovered Insta-Set MUST be used with some foam construction in order to get the CA to cure. I also discovered that it...

Yes, that's the one. I downloaded your plans and a couple images, thanks. I suspect this is also a foam design that could handle some wind.

SuperSlo combined with Old-N-Slow!

Thanks for the suggestions Chellie. That's kinda what I've been doing, only I've done it in bits and pieces and now it's got quick fixes all over it. Would be easier to just make a new fuselage....

Watched your video a couple times. It IS quirky, but the little devil grows on you. Bet there were several UFO reports in the area after you left.

Might want to name this one "Freaky Flyer." Looks like Glenn Curtis, the Write Brothers, and Barnaby Wainfan all met at a Chinese kite factory and designed this by comittee. Interesting flyer.
