Flight problems...(or should I say BOAT problems)

NO LIFT OFF !!! It was poopy.

I tried to get away with that E-flite 400 park but it just doesn't have the bite. Ill be ordering the purple peril soon...

PLUS, When Im at full throttle, it pulls the nose down really bad.

Any suggestions?

I wish I could help . If you can put up a few pictures so we can get a look and study YOUR set-up, that would help alot. What modifications have you done so far and what PROP did you use? Talk later, Scott.

sounds like your thrust angle may be down.

Could it just be a lot of friction?

I say shop for a new plane that suits your motor, esc and pack...

I got the motor but when I get to high speeds or if i just go from low to high speeds quickly, it sounds like its slipping or something. I checked the shaft and the prop and they aren't moving, so is it the motor??

red shut down, but a dedicated user posted [link=http://www.redshangarone.com/]this site [/link] as a dedication, there are also PDF plans and the manual if you care to build one from scratch.
