I was getting the hang of doing fast slow passes over mum and dad's house, but smacked the plane into the stone path. The camera and battery came off and landed on the grass. Nothing a bit of glue and tape won't fix. Maybe my next plane project should be a stable camera pan and tilt platform.

Lehmann Aviation

I wanted an EPP plane and I don't have much time, so I ordered a couple of moulded plane bodies from here: http://www.lehmannaviation.com/
They came from France in less than a week. They didn't have white, so I agreed to black. They cost 20 Euros each, plus 25 Euros postage.
It flies ok, but pitches up too much when I apply power.
This is made better by removing the wing tips, but makes it more unstable but more efficient.
I am ready to add some computer control, I guess, at least to try to stabilise the flight.
