Well, Flying Brian wasnt a great success, his arms (wings) seem to be just a bit small, he has weird toe control surfaces too, which didnt seem to turn him, just killed off the airspeed even more. I was using a good 7mm motor.
Brian was originally designed as a free flight balsa glider, so I dont feel too bad that he doesnt fly well with nearly 20g of radio gear and he is fully painted as well. All adds up. He looks good and will be on display in my shed from now on. I have a 'few' better flying planes in my collection, I knew he was going to be marginal if he did fly. I enjoyed making him, maybe I will do a 'Big Brian' at some point, enlarged so the radio isnt such a high percentage of the weight.
