I have another theory after watching it again. Your ailerons might be too close to the wing root. When the airplane banks, the down-wing loses critical lift because the aileron on that side acts as a spoiler. So, the wing loses lift, and the plane both banks AND descends. If the ailerons were further out, the wing would retain more lift and she might just stay airborne better. Just a thought. Great flying all the same.

@Coaljet I agree, lesson learned. Also i have damaged batteries in the video really testing my flying, new batteries on the way. thanks for the advice.

Why you make a rudder?

@Blikess Rudders make a plane turn. J

what i would like to see is how to add a spy cam to that that you could watch on the computer

or somthing like that

Made one and it worked

Also less throw on your elevator might help if your radio doesn't have dual-rates (move the control rod in a hole or two on the servo end or out on the elevator end). Watch the launch at 7:30 to get a good look at what I'm talking about in the previous post.

It might be an old topic but I think you might be right about needing more power but the answer really could be where the thrust is going. I agree with wanting a pusher but the thrust line of the motor is so far above the wing that when you hold the throttle wide open (which you need to when you are underpowered) the thrust is acting on the top of the motor mount and making the nose pitch down. You counter this with a bunch of up elevator and the plane stalls. Try angling the motor up a bit.

I have to say that you did a great job, I know what a pain it is to make these types of planes

the way i see your problem is lack of power, get a better prop, not a helicopter prop.. that way you get more power , also your plane looks like its front heavy... pusher plane's angle of thrust should be pushing upward not parallel to the horizontal of the plane... but your set up is good..

You sound like Ray Romano

[bretspot]

Try to fly it in less wind also :)

@Lia18ishes Just buy a wild hawk of the internet there great to learn to fly with and you get everything you need to start out

Looks like the fellow that commented on the ailerons is correct. The plane seems to be loosing critical lift when banking.
