Baby Squirrel Flights

There was no wind and no NOTAM this morning, so I headed over to the park for some test flights with the Baby squirrel. I used 7″ office rubber bands, well lubed, hand wound.
300 turns, 9.91 seconds, DT.
400, 14.93, no DT, motor jammed on knots.
500, 17.25, no DT.

590, 580 and 430 turns broke motors and then the wind came up. I got no pictures. Flights were 20-30 feet high.

Wing leading edge was at 1.2″, CG was at 0.32″ back of leading edge, 19.7%, left thrust bent into the hanger.
