Thanks for the complements. You should check out my newest video. We added an internal camera, removed the bottom wings, and it flies even better now.

you should put (For example) a black stripe on one wing then put a Blue stripe on the other wing. That would make it so you would know what way you are turning but otherwise its Awesome!

@MacBelak Adding weight isnt always a bad thing. sorry but I agree with Parkflieger, the tail length looks like it should be fine, a little front end weight would do it, try bringing the battery as far forward as you can. Im glad its working for you now, but for future knowledge make sure the balance point is about 2 to 3 inches behind the leading edge of the forward most wing (for a biplane). If your plane is set up correctly then it should fly great no matter the length of the tail.

@Parkflieger
Why would somebody add weight to the front, making the plane even heavier when reducing the tail length and some weight of the tail would also center the gravity?
Obviously you do not want to add unnecessary weight to an airplane, unless you are going for a scale build.
Anyway we shortened the tail even more and it flies much better now.

Hello :)
Your Tail is/was not to long. *LoL*
Your Bird is to TailHeavy.Put some weight into
the Nose and it will fly.Maybe take some Time
an read something about CenterOfGravity. ;)
Good Luck and have Fun with your Plane :o)
This is the second test fight of The Hammer's first homemade remote control coroplast airplane. After the first test flight we shortened the tail a little, as you can see it is much better than the last flight, but the tail is still way to long and heavy.
The wings and fuselage are built out of Coroplast and the ParkZone brushless motor is powered by an 11.1V Li-poly battery.
