Twister - Fun-fly style glider maiden flight.

This was the first test flight of my latest design in about 12-13 mph of wind. I wanted to make a super easy to construct glider, with lots of wing area and big control surfaces. It only took three days to design and build as the fuselage is a simple box section and all the wing ribs are identical. The low wing loading with a fat section gives it a nice slow stall speed. It had a little bit too much nose weight on the maiden flight. I may add some side-force generating wingtips for the next flight.
