You may some some torque roll if you have a powerful/fast brushles. We have since found that if we launch with ab out 1/2 to 2/3 throttle it isnt as aggressive. I would recommend just buying a Fun jet. I have 2 and dont fly the micro anymore. The funjet is a lot more stable, flys well at slow speeds but can go very fast.... You will become a great flyer by using these planes. They really keep you on your toes...!!

looks like completely a setup problem as the multiplex planes are very good!

[beno9487]

Have you ever flown a Micro Jet? Very different to funjet and other. Its justa very difficult plane to fly. A lot of people say the only way to launch is to use a bungey as it needs a lot of speed to get airborne.

Hum... sorry to here that! I wonder what they got wrong on this plane? the video looks like a cg problem but i guess not! what differences from the manual did you have to do to get it to fly right?

[beno9487]

Multiplex topped making them and invented the fun jet. Much more stable at slower speeds But still a wild machine. All the best

What was that grass at 0.07 for? An offering for the Gods?

@BigMeanyVids Yea i have hitec hs 50 and 3 cells with a axi 2208/34 goes well

[BigMeanyVids]

Yeah, it looks a bit nose heavy and overloaded in general.

[cod4madass]

you obviously either have to c.g wrong or to much throw mine is amazing to fly glides really well and is easy to launch

[sheldonholy]

Well, they are using a speed 400 and nicads. This plane flies amazingly well, with brushless and a light battery.

I have performed my first 3 flights with it last weekend and I find it easier to launch that the Twister (and I don't have a strong motor - it's a 2040-3200Kv from a Falcon 3D Heli with a 4.7x4.7" prop at 3S) and fly. It's important to throw it strongly at an angle of about 40° at full throttle and put a LOT of Expo (70+%).

[Free07Style]

No they still sell it - I just bought one 2 weeks ago and check the Multiplex site today

[MetallicMunky]

They haven't stopped making them either????

[MetallicMunky]

I think you've got a it a tiny bit wrong. I take it you were flying brushless with 3S 35c lipos? From the looks of it your motor isnt powerful enough or your set-up sucks!

ah ryt thats wat i thought but it still seemed to do ir when it was in slow speed i love flyin them planes tho .. i dont want another electric yet im lookin to get a filton extra 330 wiv a 61 s.c 2stroke engine i duno if that engine is any good but il give it a try nd see wat happens.. i don realy need the pratice im pritty good at flyin .. i do alot of pratice on realflight g4.5 good sim i recomend it to every one !
