Art-Tech F/A-18C EDF Jet - Crash & successful flight

Out of the box this EDF jet wouldnt fly, the elevator rod was way to soft (flexing issue), had to add 30g to balance the plane and one Aileron ruder was broken when the custom agents opened the box. After Fixing these issues i went out for the maiden, but the elevator still had a problem (which caused the crash after take off). 3h later the jet was repaired, more positive trim to the elevator adjusted.
i hope the front wheel doesnt break the next time, the jet flys well now, but i have to improve my landings :)

Hey! I'm wondering if you ever balanced the fan on this plane. I noticed the pitch at wot is a bit higher than mine.

@jEduardoj3rd no, i never touched the EDF, flew as is. i cannot compare your f-18, video says: not available for my country due to audio track i guess.
