FT 3D Maiden Flight

I have been wanting to build the FT 3D for a long while now, but decided to wait until I had put in some stick time on the simulator, especially after having tried a few times and realised it is not as easy as it looks.

To my surprise, when I got my son off the computer to put in some stick time, he said he had been flying the 3D planes for a while now and was flying them decently and, turns out, better than me.

So, I decided to go ahead and build the FT 3D.

This is the maiden of the FT 3D with a 920kv motor on 4S with about 970g of thrust. Considering the FT 3D comes in at about 780g, this is not a great power to mass ratio for a 3D flier, but good enough for beginners like we are!
