To the FliteTest Community:

Eps 21: This episode features the maiden attempt for the newest plane design to come out of the MESArcFF program called the MF-Snow Hawk.  The plane design is based on the Polaris, the plane is ment to go on water, snow, air, etc.

Next Steps: There will be further testing of the Snow Hawk in the coming weeks and free plans will be available towards the end of January. A build video will be part 3 of the Snow Hawk series, while Part 4 will show the design changes and links to the plans.

Grayson MegaJet? Did seem to lack a little in the thrust department, although mine prior to it's epic demise was not by any means a fast plane. Dial some expo in for sure but double check CG especially since you guys mounted ESC a bit further back than original design. Roll axis instability and touchy elevator (if that was the case) are classic tail heavy symptoms. My Polaris/Snow Hawk required a bit of extra nose weight, made for very good flight characteristics at slow speeds without sacrificing much glide rate. Very good build and maiden!
