Here is my first wing. It is a simple flat plate triangle. It flys very weel at high and low speeds. The pictures show the plane with out any electronics because of two stripped servos after I lost power in the wind and hit a tree :o . I have flown the plane in calm conditions, 5 mph constant wind conditions, and wind gusts of 15-20 mhp. In all of these conditions the wing remained stable and easy to control. It is powered with a j250 motor with a 3x3 prop and an e-tec 700 mah 3s battery. It will easily climb out at 75 degrees. It wheighs a scant 7 ounces and has wingspan of about 20 inches. It is fast even against the wind. This wing has been crashed several times and has no signs of damage at all. The whole wing is taped with packing tape, along with the bamboo skewers, this causes the wing to have a negligable amount of flex. It spins faster then I can count.

I have at least ten flights on the motor with the 3s and it shows no sifn of wear.
