| The wing apears to have gone askew, resulting in straight flight rather than a circle. At this point I put away the camare and began chasing it. But about 150' away a tree kindly caught it for me. I broke the wing getting it down - back to the hanger. |

| Initial unpowered glides were like the BF-109, short and steep. Moving the wing forward and removing 1.5g of nose weight moved the CG back, fixing the problem. Here we see it as it begins to climb and turn into a 40' circle around me. |

| Sunny, 50F, and 0-1 MPH NE winds, so I went to the park. This is my universal adapter for winding up the plane - the Canary from "Rubber Power" by Don Ross. |
