Micro light sorta maybe

Believe it or not, this little thing took an hour to build, yet it still doesn't fly well!

Yeah, you're gonna want to make use of that trim function, cause this plane will not do well without it. Level flight can be found around 265-285 mph (I think), and the little bugger's fairly maneuverable.

Oh, and, don't pitch down. Ever. Unless you're not using keyboard controls (and can therefore put in a miniscule level of pitch input), pitching down will put you into an inescapable flat spin. Even max downward trim will do that.
