Hi There is a video from maiden flight ends in a crash landing. I try to upload it. Quality is not so good as my camera man couldn't track the model the most of the time.

Thanks a lot.
After 3hrs on the table my Me163 was ready again. It is light but can absorb a lot . I did some changes also and flies very well. I try to avoid tarmac for landings and everything goes well. Is very stable like a train in flight but on the other hand, take off and landing needs extra caution !!!!!
I have now more than 10 flights without any issue
Good luck with your Komet.

PS: For take of don't be in a hurry to drop the dolly, otherwise you experience a sharp nose up which is difficult to control it. Let it accelerate almost level like real one and then drop the dolly. Still nose will come up, but as speed is ok control is easy!!!

So you must have your dolly setup with a release servoe? it also looks like you have elevons.....even using the inner surfaces. that is how mine is setup.

Yes the dolly has a release servo...check the pictures below. Also this set up allow me to have access in case something happens with servo etc.


The set up is elevon but the inner is also trim flap.So in flight you don't use the normal trim but the flap trim.By doing so you have better control and for pitch trim you don't deflect any of the outer surfaces....

I like your ides for using the flap channel for trim. i will see if i can do the same. i will think about the dolly servo. by the way, your english is excellent. Where are you from?
