Super unsuccessful maiden
Follow up post.
So it turns out my maiden was less than the anticipated 3 seconds, probably closer to 0.5 seconds.
On the plus side, I got a valuable lesson in double checking elevator trip prior to launch (it was set to dive and there just wasn’t enough time to correct it) and all it cost me was a tube of CA glue and a new prop. Now we’re all ready to try again next Sunday.
