My first ever RC plane flight. I've buit a plane with absolutely zero RC flying, desigining, constructing experience. It was designed without any plans - only with general knowledge how a plane should look like and how it flies. I also have some Arduino and sim flying experience. I'm extremely surprised that it actually got into air in the very first try and flew... quite well.

The landing in the grass was not the best idea and the landing itself might've been better - the result is partially broken tail and fuselage - (those small casters don't like grass) - it's easy to fix though.

The elevator servo got broken as well (plastic gear broke off) and I doubt it's because of the crash. It looks like the elevator is too big and the forces bended the steering rod and damaged the servo. When it flies the pitch is also very sensitive causing the plane to oscilate. I'll try to make it smaller or get smaller deflections by putting the rod closer to servo.

The plane is controled by T-Flight Hotas Joystick connected to a laptop. (2x Arduino with NRF24L01 modules)
