Hi Hobby Lobby, My rafale did fly so fast like on your video. Is this because i used a 2200mah Battery 20c Lipo? I also changed my EC to 40amps.

Please help me with this situation.

The Rafale in our video was flown on the stock power system. Adding a larger battery and controller would make the plane much heavier and would decrease performance. Lighter is better in this case.

Any indication on cg placing ? I haven't managed to balance mine yet, still too far forwards I think...

With 265 sq in of area , you will need quite a lot of power to fly at speed.

EDF is power hungry stuffs and early casualty is usually the lipo. Use 25C or higher LIPO for better performance.

does the canard move?

The Rafale is a good EDF. My first RC and I loved every minute of it. On full throttle I average about 5 mintues flight time but by cutting back to about 50% I average 10 or more depending on wind conditions and manuvering.

You CAN remove the gears and belly land it, however I recommend only belly landing on grass or another soft material. Loops are fairly easy just make sure you add a slight dive before the climb, keep throttle on full, and full back on the stick. I want another. Happy flying!

I just maiden flew my Rafale today. 3.5 minutes maximum endurance unless loitering around. Couldn't loop as not enough power to get over the top! Fun to fly but short on endurance. No Cof G indicators so it was a total guess to get airborne. CofG too far forward initially and eventually bounced into the air! Want more air time though. At least 5 good minutes!

is this made from foam?
