KF airfoil Puddle Racer - With Flight Vid

Ok - to be fair it's not much of a racer but it's designed off the Pond Racer so just for fun it got nicknamed the Puddle Racer. It stands a good chance of being a prototype for a full fuse true airfoil plane with some real beef in the nacelles.







And the flight vid: Filmed on a mobile phone because my Contour was flat - it kept losing focus hence the editing.

Thanks Pretty stoked that it worked as well as it did - CG was exactly on for what I had calculated. I think I need some faster props though - the motors don't even break a sweat hauling it around and the climb is ridiculous. I'm thinking of chucking a couple of 8x8s on there and see if it doesn't pull itself apart
