Video of maiden flight of my Ugly Plank


First flight of my 9mm laminated EPP foam plank. Great carves (banks I guess), nice loops, not very good rolls (that could just be me though).. Great fun to fly. Seems pretty stall proof. Have to make a better motor mount though.
Going to make a better tail.
Sound on video breaks up a bit - I am using a cheap usb mic adapter and the driver doesn't play well with my video editing software.

Update: found out it rolls to right great but not left. Right elevon doesn't have as much throw as left so increased it a bit. Will see how it goes now.
Fixed the problem, not enough up elevon. Rolls great - fast and axial.
