Default RE: Need help with Astro Hog crash cause

Dave,

I am very sorry to hear of your problems. I have an Astro-Hog too, and they are a lot of work to build and cover! Icannot imagine the frustration you are feeling. I wish Iknew what your problem is. Mine is powered with a Saito .91. 14x6 prop. I usually rotate around half-throttle and fly at half throttle or lower as well. Ihave no right thrust. Mine has always been docile like a trainer. Was your elevator overly sensitive that last flight? It seems like you may still be tail-heavy. The Hog is such a solid flyer that I would think it could fly through almost any problem except tail-heaviness. Good luck!
