If you can't tell this was my first flight with a pan servo. I'm really glad I installed one, it makes for some really cool perspectives.

This is a very nice platform for cruising or acro flying. I managed to reach an efficiency of 95 mAh/km or roughly 1.4Wh/km. Not bad at all considering the very nonefficient type of flying I was doing. It'll be interesting to load it up with some Liions and see how far it can go.

Overall I think this plane's biggest strength is the mechanical design. The parts are super easy to print and the strength of the parts is incredible, even when printed in lwpla. The wing locking mechanism is super nice and the modular wing design should help with repairability.

The aero design of the plane could use some work. Mainly just little things like the profile on the wingtips and the vertical stabilizers, or the fact that it requires reflex. I can't complain too much, after all it flies great and the plans are free.
