G,day everyone, excellent posts, had my first flight yesterday had the Electrafun XP trimmed well, rolling take off, flew well, pilot needs experience unfortunately, 10 yr old son had plenty of execise, climbing cyclone fence topped with barbed wire, to retreive plane, but alas it was up a gum tree, bit of mucking around with the controls dislodged it fortunately. Today learnt valuable lesson, trim might be right day before, but check following day, took it down the beach where there are no trees, hand launched it, reached an altitude of about 30 metres, then veered to the right into a sand dune. Broke the fuselage in the tail section http://image2-0.rcuniverse.com/e1/forum/micons/m14.gif
