Gws Mustang IV


well, what happened to mustang III was that there was too much throw of the control surfaces. this causes over control and well it crashed on its maiden. lesson learnt, rather have slightly lesser deflection of control surfaces on maiden aircraft. increase deflection if needed.


now Gws Mustang IV. Record breaking. took me just one day to assemble it to flight condition. made used of the firewall from previous aircraft. and baby helped me painted it using acrylic paint. well after coming back maroochydore, went to play at the field opposite the old seletar market. after the first battery, it went well except that i find it flying slightly fast. and then the "one more flight" mentally kicks in. on the second battery, flew the aircraft into a tree which was on the opposite side of the field. the tree was actually sticking out of no where... oh well... recover all the electronics and started building my next aircraft - Zero Fighter!
