[QUOTE="2smoke, post: 72051, member: 563"] Crashed once, repaired it. Flew it one more time and Destroyed it. Gutted it out for electronics. It was grossly under powered, and super twitchy. I think it may have even been just a little tail heavy. What I should have done before I made a snap purchase was check it out for flight reviews. After the first flight I wasnt overly impressed and decided to look for a flight review. I found one. I kid you not as the guy is getting the plane airborne it did the same things I experience, and the words that came out of his mouth ( WHOA BABY come on............ climb. Yep this one flies like a turd just like the other one!) So I shot the guy a message via You Tube. I asked him where he was flying it at and what the elevation was he was flying at. 3800 ft. Im at 5000 ft. and it was a warm day out about 80 degrees. So the air is much thinner and the heat of the day made the air density even less. Which explains why it bearly got off the ground on the last flight. That and only having a 29 inch wing span it wasnt really designed to fly as slowly as it was able to go. So................... Ive got another plane on my list. Ive done a little more home work and this particular one has a much larger wing span (better lift) is capable of flying slowly. It also has a couple of good reviews so........................................ Here she is. [ATTACH]5096.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]5097.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]5098.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
