Default RE: Patriot 40 needs weight?



Flew My Patriot today. Sorry, no inflight pictures but I had 2 flights and all is good. Mine has a 10X6 prop on it at the moment. I am going to try a 9X8 and a 9x9 to see what I can get this thing to do.

Yea, I know it's not the prettiest I ran out of Yellow covering and got stuck using what I had laying around.

The total wieght I had to add to the tail was only 2.5oz I am also using a 6V AA 2500mah battery mounted where the retract servo goes in the servo tray.

The landing gear is solid non retracting. Doesn't matter, as is it's still the fastest plane on our field
