Forgot to post this picture of the maiden of my Sabre - in the sunny autumn of 2020. Its only flight so far as I took it out a couple of times before the lock down but it was never windy enough. That's the plane's designer helping out with an excellent throw. I have since modified the elevator to give it more throw, mine was lacking in the up department. That's all it needed though. Flew on rails and the flaps are really effective - so effective that when I deployed them it just landed! I will know to feed them in next time. There is a minute of video here too - its a bit of a dot as it was from a phone and sorry about the wind noise, I think it was about 40kn.
