Find some high grass, more forgiving.

Ground crew did a good job.

Test flights continue, it's been a challenge to get things right. I'll continue to experiment. I tried a powerful motor but that appeared to be too risky to manage and I went back to a medium strength. I've added more weight in the nose and may try an even weaker motor to avoid quickly climbing into a stall.

Crashed hard 3 times this week with damage, but fully repaired each time. However today was hot and humid and I tried to fly but results were not good. I had reduced lift. I looked it up: "Humidity has a major affect on the way planes fly. This is due to the weight of the air when it is humid. When air is humid, it is actually lighter then dry air, contrary to common belief. That is because the water (H2O) weighs less then the N2 or O2 that it replaces". Hopefully try again tomorrow. I also lightened the nose just a tiny bit, so we'll see. It was almost flying great earlier in the week, really close.
