The first and last flight of my second Ultimate Biplane. Two planes killed in a little over two weeks. I'm doing GREAT! :P

  • You probably know this by now, but whenever possible - do your maiden flights off the ground rather than handlaunch.. Far fewer variables... :)

  • Yeah - unfortunately the grass is too long and uneven for a ground launch of this model... good advice tho for those that do!

  • Looks nose heavy. It could also be under powered. Did you throw it into the wind? Also check your trims. If this is your first rc plane then I suggest you join an AMA club in your area and they'll help out.

  • Yeah I thought it looked that way too, but I had pretty thoroughly balanced it. Not actually my first plane, but actually I have just gotten my AMA number, and will be going to a local field soon. But luckily, the successor planes to this one have had more luck ;)

  • After seeing your (expensive) video, I was just about to suggest going to a local flying club, but see I have been beaten to it. Good to see you joined the AMA as the first step toward club membership. I joined our local club exactly one week ago today. Lots of help there for the beginner, and I can see what the old timers are up to. I'm leaning heavy toward the Ultimate plane, and was looking for vids.

  • Hehe... yeah thanks. I have now largely perfected my flying, and have chalked that one up to a hasty build, and nose-heavy construction with too little experience. I went through a lot of planes to master it, but am now doing well ;) You'll love the Ultimate Bipe - this same plane is now reborn with parts from another one and is my favorite one to fly!
