This is a beautiful warbird,,, I have one myself.The only problem I have is that the CG is too close to the main landing gear so that makes landing very difficult.Slight resistance during landing can make it tip over.

I talked to a sales rep who told me that this plane is not made for belly landing.I tried it twice and broke two prop blades.Overall its a great plane though if your an intermediate pilot.

@Doamino41 Yes, the landing gear is an issue. I bent mine forward and that helped a bit. I find that if you fly off of a hard surface, it won't tip over as much but if I'm flying off of grass I'll just hand launch it. I haven't broken any props on the grass.

Woaw your rc plane is incredible. My models for indoor use are not so bad too. See my Youtube Channel !

Hi briguy99, the battery compartment looks a bit small, the specs call for a 1300 mah pack, is there room to fit in a larger pack say 11.1V 1800 possibly 2200 mah?

Thanks

i want to buy myself one too but it should stay long the battery one with about half an houre do these planes really fly only 10 minutes?

[briguy99]

It's a great flier for sure! I'm upgrading the motor and putting on some retracts now. It's a low priority project, but I'll try to get a video up of it later.
