First flight with the EL-39 of 2022. The only change from last year is a new EDF that I designed this winter, with 18 blades. It sounds great. Performance seems about the same.
I broke one brake servo on landing when it must have hit a protruding nail on the runway. Another nail tore a gash in my little Hercules. After that I walked the whole runway and stomped down the rest of the protruding nails.
