Slow-stick maiden test flight.

Unsuccessful would be an understatement, however it was a fun time and basically I think all I need is more power. The prop is hooked to the engine by quite a large gear lowering the RPM's of the prop compared to the RPM's of the engine. I'm going to try to change that gear ratio and I'm confident this baby will fly. The airframe seemed fairly stable. I may try to increase the V of the wings for more stability and also, somehow shift the electronics so that it's not so tail heavy.
