Default Got the Bug

Great News Eric.

For takeoffs, its best to have a friend help you by holding the plane. Advance to full throttle, and hold full up elevator. Have your friend give the plane a push, and it should be off the ground in short order.

For throws, I like to set up Dual rates. Low rates for take offs and flying, and then Higher rates for landing.

For landings, your better off deadsticking quickees in. I idle down as I make my last turn to landing aproach, and if everything looks good, I hit my throttle Kill switch and glide it in for a landing. Quickees were not made to taxi.

Most people would be suprised to find how easy quickees actually fly. My 2nd plane was a quickee with an O.S. .25fx on the nose. Glad everything went well.
