3D Printed RC P-38 Lightning Maiden Flight

This video busts 2 myths- The outside temperature was 32C and the plane didn`t warp or melt, and the props turn the same direction without a performance or handling penalty.

Apologies because the camera didn`t have it`s SD card. I gathered all the phone videos and patched them together.
