The second attempt did not go quite as hoped. The aircraft ran all the way down the strip before taking off (just and flipping left and right.

The aircraft then landed at speed and ran into the long grass at the end of the strip and tipped over. Luckily there was no damage.

We decided to add some more weight to the nose. This seemed to improve the stability on the next flight and it took off!!!!
