Maiden flight (and crash) of my foamboard MiG-3, based mostly on plans from Nic Lechner ([ Ссылка ])
This plane was built in honor of my Russian friend Koozya. I had hoped to maiden this plane on May 9th, Victory Day, but the build schedule slipped for various reasons and it wasn't completed in time.
The cause of the crash was most likely pilot error and incorrect (excessive) control rates. One second it was unresponsive, the next it was over-controlling. Too much throw and too much expo I suspect.
Damage from the crash wasn't what I would call 'minimal', but it's still quite repairable. She'll never be as pretty as she was this morning, but she _will_ fly again.
