RE: CMP 160 sized Texan
MYSTAR..too bad about the maiden.....my at-6 weighs in at 17 lbs.. and is a floater without flaps....a word of caution about the at-6 wing , even the full scale wants air speed before liftoff...the 3rd flight on mine I almost did the same as yours but was luckier I was able to save it....from then on I always get her up to speed and she practically lifts off on her own....now have over 100+ flights...you might forget about the smoke but I recommend the flaps..
