  • Is this a mean airplane to fly?

    Did it stall at takeoff?

  • @neodym4

    Yes the exiting manouver at takeoff was a tipstall. It's not a mean flyer but it likes speed, don't try to turn before you have good speed. first in the air, it will be a beauty :-)

  • 1. two .52's would be perfect for this plane

    2. Not too much, however, the term "speed is life" applies for this model.

    3. Retracts can be installed

  • HI, this take of is pretty common when full throttle is used. Mine is powered by 2 OS46X's and after the test flight I now only take off at 3/4 throttle after a good ground roll.

  • A few questions.

    1. Would you recomend 2 OS .52 4strokes in there?

    2. Is it a handfull 2 fly?

    3. Does this plane have retractable landing gear?
