Yes I have flown it. The maiden was in a gym. I was doing some flat turns to get used to it in normal mode and I think I pulled it into neg pitch so it pancaked and the esc wire and pith servo wire go cut by the prop

I had it at the snowy field on Saturday and did get one nose down hover

. The pitch curve is wrong however. Way to much reverse pitch so the motor bogs down. Should be an easy fix once I get some new blades

. From what I have been able to do I will say the center prop gives way more stability nose down then the VP planes I have played with on my Sim. I will give a full report once I have it dialed.

After I have figured out what I like and don't like I will refine the design and put a cool paint job on it. The full fuse is very rigid.

Glue 3 strakes 45 deg off the nose. Since it's a VPP, you could do nose down T/O (and landings?).

It was very close, but due to a beverage related incedent it met it's demise.
