Stick 40 Demonstration Video
I have some pictures of the construction of this aircraft, but currently I'm not ready to go look for them. I bought and built this model so that I had something easy to fly, and something that I could use up some of my older parts. My first R/C airplane engine, and my oldest radio system. This plane did not behave like I was hoping. In the air it was an easy model to fly. It also landed easy. However it was a hard plane to take off with. I ended up crashing it twice. The first time I was able to repair it. The second time, I felt it was too damaged and not worth my time and energy. Here is a flight video.
Wonderful video!
I thought that taking off was always a lot easier than landing (that's what I experienced with PC flight simulators).
Also that you needed an asphalt runaway (like a road) to get the necessary speed to take off.
But you do it from your grass-covered backyard lawn.
Congratulations on the awesome adventures of building and flying your RC airplanes!

@HealingTalk Thanks! The club that I learned at, only had a grass runway. I prefer grass because it is more forgiving when you make a mistake. Most of my planes take off just fine from grass, but that one is particularly a bad design.
I see. Thank you for your explanation!
