Wow that was a huge waste of time! Nice commentary at the end as well. Remind me never to build one of those.

Hey looks like the wings seperated one side under load as it arced backwardson causing the failure on the other side. Too bad they didnt have some sort of mini elevon driven by a seiko servo for pitch control and a more sturdy spar. I am sure it would have gone the distance then....
