I looked at the elevators and they were not set up right. Totally my fault. I have it sorted out now and I'll start from 0 on the trims tomorrow.

The spark plug boot twisted around in flight and the wire made contact with the sharp edge of the cowl cutout. It was about to start cutting into the wire. It's probably good the flying stopped when it did. I'm working on some wire routing clamps to make sure it stays pointed backwards.

Also the magnets were not quite strong enough to hold the removable tunnel plate in place. I'll fix that by adding some rails so it slides out.

Should be good to go tomorrow and really start breaking in that motor.
