There is no debate here. I am not the only one to have these things occur. None turns out to be a big deal. I didn't even complain that much. It is frustrating to expect to fly a plane with a couple hours work and end up taking weeks due to unexpected complications. Sure if i built a second one i could do it in one night but the point is i should have been able to do it in one night the first time. The fact that i didn't speaks to the construction and directions i had to work with.
First flight. Nelson 7.4 x 8. Didn't tach. First launch at 3/4 throttle. Duration of flight 3 seconds. Plowed right into the ground.
Second flight. New prop. Full power, big twist to the left on takeoff . A little trim goes a long way at full throttle. Nearly lost it.
Two clicks right, two clicks down. Flies great. Hard to clock with radar gun due to low profile. But i got upper 140's consistently.
Overall great plane. Flies very well.
