another one... why do you people fire up an airplane and not have it tied down... a guy i flew with lost three finger in the blink of an eye for the same reason!!!
I found ALL of the metal hardware that came with it WAY TOO SOFT! I change out all the control rods with CF and the landing gear with some good aluminum.
No, the plane comes kinda assembled and covered. Just got to glue the wings, tailplane, hinges and control surfaces, mount the motor, landing gear, electronics, set it all up and go for it. Pretty cheap too. Got it off ebay of course.
Hey bummer bout the crash i have one of these too and ended up hitting a fence with it after a dead stick, lucky it did bugger all damage so its up again soon. I found you need alot of expo for this plane to make it flyable and i ran a 52asp 2 stroke which found had plenty of power bt needed alot of tuning to get right as everytime i flew it it stopped on me but the 3rd time was the one i hit the fence. Anyway all tuned up now so should be a breeze.If i hava spare moment i will video a flight :)
oh really? Well I haven't had any trouble with this puppy other than I think its too small for this plane. Mind you, I have only run about five tanks through it, but it tunes real easy and doesnt need much tweaking after that. Hope this helps.
Go with SAITO man thats the best engines you will get. I have had issues with every engine i have ever had but that SAITO .50 i got has never let me down.
You're telling me dude! The next flight I wasn't so lucky and smashed the shit out of it, but its all glued back together now. Stay tuned for more shit flying and hopefully, if there are more crashed, maybe an explosion or something.
Expo, dual rate, EPA, the whole bit. Learned a lot this day. All back together now and all adjustments made. Stay tuned for some actual landings. hehehe
