The prop works, um, great...
...the plane climbed above the lights (25-30 feet) and just plain disappeared into the night sky. It surely came down somewhere but I absolutely cannot find it.
Soooo, that's two planes that have flown away outside testing improved props, without intentionally over-torquing the launches. We're down to the plane Luke made and the plane I made with the shifting wings, so in addition to me making another 0.008" thick prop, now's a good a time for Luke to make himself another plane.
Note to self: stop over-doing it outside
Range finders are helpful! If you're able to get one, you can spot your plane in the sky if you fly in somewhat visible light.
A Cat IV site is right outside your door! Unlimited class galore!

, whenever we launch our plane, it dives all the way to the left, the rudder is pointed so that it should be turning right, like all the way. But the plane still goes left, another problem is that whnever the plane runs out of winds, it glides straight forward, without turning. How can we fix the rudder?
