Default AeroAce ROG (Sort-of)

I added landing gear to my AeroAce. I have not been able to make a successful take-off from the ground yet because the plane starts to make donuts, spinning clockwise. However, it takes off great from the roof of my car. I position it at one end of the roof, either at the windshield or the rear window, and give it full throttle. As it accelerates it starts to turn clockwise and comes off the roof at one of the side windows. It doesn't have quite enough speed at this point to sustain flight, so it starts to drop. By the time that it drpos half way to the ground it has enough lift and comes back up. I'm now trying to land it successfully on the roof to complete the flight cycle.

The wheels that I used are from Du-Bro: 3/8" Micro Tail Wheels w/Retainers; Cat. No. 38MTW.

This adds a whole new dimmension of fun to the AeroAce. Give it a try.
