The Swimmer Challenge

My Challenge to you is to take this aircraft and see how far you can get it to fly. The only catch is that you're not allowed to modify it.

This is no ordinary aircraft, upon take off it will want to tip forwards, once you correct that, it will want to tip backwards. Once that is corrected for, you will most likely be flying backwards. My challenge to you is to see how far horizontally you can fly it before the inevitable crash. My personal best is 5.2 kilometers.

All participants will recieve a minecraft diamond (forum graphic only)

Lol, I'm surpised that thing doesn't immediately crash after takeoff.

She does if you have max throttle at the start.
