SuperFly 38" wide help
So the only SuperFly I didnt have was the widest one. My wife got it for me.
I built per instructions,,pretty much memorized by now. lol and first flight was
kinda loopy. Now I followed all specs but ,,, dont laugh but it likes to fly upside
down more than upside right.
Its not only porpoisey but also nose dropsy. nice vocab huh?
Normally on an airframe that porpoises, its tail heavy but this does both. It makes
it very unmanageable.
I tamed the expo way way down figuring I was over controlling but that didnt make
a ton of diff. The next thing I will do is to put a big @$$ 3000 mah lipo in it to
increase the nose weight.
I would love to get others thoughts and experience with the super wide Fly. I thought
it would be a floater, which I love floaters as well as speeders but this thing loopy.

Solved it!!! one would think I would have figured this out right away but..........So I changed to a 2200 3 cell lipo brick which is up considerably from the 2 cell 1200 lipo I was using. It was tail heavy apparently. I guess the way it was looping forward, as well as up, is what threw me off from the nose light condition.
Might be the reaction because of the design. Dont matter to me because it flies great now and with the extra omph,, it stands up and talks to ya.
Just wanted to share.
