| Another easy fix...I'm actually very convinced this came loose mid-flight which is why the plane made a sudden nosedive. It also may of crashed because the single rubber band holding the wing may of come loose mid-flight. Or maybe just bad piloting :). Video up soon. |

| It looks like you had it fairly well under control in that second video. It seemed to dive in right at the end, as you say. I also notice the wings are flexing a lot - I don't think mine flexed that much, although I could be mistaken. The handling will be quite soggy with that much flex, I think, might be worth stiffening them up a bit. Any way, glad to see you in the air! |

| BTW, your flight was probably more controlled than my first ones! |

| What lens / camera were you using? Looks very cool with that wide-angle. |

| How would you suggest I stop the flexing? I put a strip of packing tape on the top center of the wings when I set them up but that didn't seem to work to well. |

| Also, I'm using a GoPro HD camera. It's like a helmet camera (but can do a lot more) with a really wide lens (170 degrees) and it can go underwater and its shockproof. If you type gopro in on youtube, you'll see thousands of videos taken with this little camera. It's a really amazing little gadget-I love it! |
