This is a 2nd flight of a custom plane my grandpa had given me (in heavy snow!). It only had a rudder and elevator, but I wanted ailerons (since I don't like to crash!) so I strapped on a wing from another non-air worthy plane he'd given me too, and wallah, the GpaLoWing was created!

It's fun to fly. super light balsa fuse with a foamy wing. I added a 9 gram metal gear hextronix servo since the wing has control rods for left and right ailerons (and the plastic gears broke nearly immediately on my first installed servo - thanks hobby king). I installed removable gear from the hobby king "blixer" (I think), and they work real well! The prop is a 9X4.5, but since I basically didn't need more than 25% throttle, I'm gonna change it down drastically before my next flight. The battery was a nano-tech 3S 370mAh 25-40C, but I used the same in 460mAh earlier, with slightly better performance - it lasted over 7 minutes, but I wasn't checking the time real carefully. The plane doesn't yet have the "cool" features such as batter hatch, split flaps, etc since I wanted to ensure the plane would fly okay before I invested any more time into it.
