Thanks

The main gear is relatively narrow - I had difficulty on takeoffs such that I kept hitting the wingtips on the runway.  In hindsight, I wish I had lowered the steering rate by using a hole in the servo arm closer to the center.  With other fast pushers, I have the desire to let the plane fly itself off the runway but this one needed a tad of up elevator.  Once off the ground though, UNLIMITED VERTICAL!!

Status: offline 		Maidened mine last Saturday, didn't have an issue with the landing gear, but it sure was a handfull. Had some help trimming it out and got it back safely on the ground. Seems the throws from the manual were too much even with 50 percent expo. Flew with a little over 700 watts (wanted to keep it light for now). Flies nice....flies like a jet, better keep it moving.

Still haven't had a chance to maiden my plane so I can't vouch for the CG as yet. I have set mine up as per the instructions. I'm going to run a 6s pack (40-50C rating) 3000mah as the EDF is really power hungry and with some test engine runs with my two 3s 30C 2200 mah packs I found that they got quite warm. Waiting for the new pack to get here to get that first flight in.


Can you post pictures of your edf setup.
