RE: New Parkzone Super Decathalon
Stan:
Don't fret about buying the decathalon. It was my first RC plane too. A few crashes but now I can fly it quite well. It is alot of fun. I had a similar experience, here is what was wrong:
- Unknown to me a previous crash had broken the plastic sub-frame behind the firewall. This caused the motor to be out of alignment and always fly down and right. To fix I took off the wing pulled the nose straight to realign the plastic frame again. Then using JB Weld Epoxy on the end of a stick I glued the cracked frame back together. Flys great again.
- Recommendation that worked for me. Down-load the Real Flight G-3 simulator (demo version). It is free and really helped me with my coordination/controls etc. I used it for couple of hours after my first disasterous flights. Give it a try, it will probably help.
I just flew my SD through two batteries worth of flying lastnight. Great fun. Good luck.
