Dafx- here's the EZ*, probably the best flyig plane there is - and its BIG. A lot of people use them for mounting vid cmeras etc on them cos they can carry a lot of weight and still fly well. http://www.brchobbies.co.uk/?page=shop&action=additem&item=316
The prop has to not hit the black fibreglass rod that links the fuselage to the tail section, it carries the wires from servo to tail section.
My b/less Swift isn't easy to fly, its very twitchy and responds very quickly to the slightest touch on the TX sticks, it isn't relaxing, you can't take your eyes off it in case it tip stalls and crashes. All my other planes fly great. When you get another plane you will know what I mean, if its a good one. Enjoy your flying, watch the crashing.....


ok I understan is just I am not to good in english. I understand wath you mean now with not enjoyable! just like my Little Firebird Phantom. that bird is very fast and super quick response on control input. just like you said take out the eyes from she and you will crash. I have crash the Phantom so many time by so quick response that is a non relaxing flyer. But I love that non relaxing Phantom is awesome , Really man the phantom is an exellent plane have only a 170 motor and is faster than my swift with challenger prop. is so fast that can made rolls with rudder and a liitle up and down input (thanks to V-tail).

I have more planes and i know some are very relaxing like my Slo-V and my SuperCUB and some are "do not take eyes from she"like my Dynam Focus 400ep my Phantom or the SWIFT. also few airhogs some helis Walkera 22e, walkera #4, Blade CX2, Micro Mosquito lol, and my latest Toy Raptor .90. that is without count my 3 nitro Trucks my 2 onroad drifters nitro, my nitro Rally Cen Subaru WRX, did I mention My thunder Tiger Ducati nitro. oh yea forgot my 2 boats and the x-mod. whant an Airsoft RC abraham Tank , got it.

PD - estes rocket with camera. checkout my hangar and garage and marine to see al mi RC's

Status: offline 		there is a diference between acrobatic and 3d, yes the SWIFT is acrobatic since can do lots of acrobatics whith good skills. my Super CUB is not acrobatic. now, 3D are those tha can hover , harrier rolls. (ay least that is my thought)

slo-v never going to more acrobatic no matter whats said in ad. I have mine flew with stock 6cell and 7 cell and just to do a loop need altitud enter to a dive then do the loop. in fact the slo-v in low rate is almost non functionally. the reality is that low rates are better when flying fast and high rate when moving slow to get the best handling. (no acrobatic)

Status: offline 		Dafx - I know this isn't the correct thread but here goes. Aerobird Phantom - I don't have one. I do have a spare wing I bought cheap and today I started a build, see the pictures, its not finished yet. Aerobird wing, Swift tail flattened, balsa rudder and an E-max motor. It should fly well. Oh, and a Slow Stick fuse tube.

Status: offline 		Dafx - I never get hard landings, just vertical nose-ins!!! Look at it this way: imagine its a racing car, you get all the weight as low as possible, you wouldn't put the engine on the roof, or put the lipo on top a wing (you put it underneath). Thats my theory and I'm sticking to it!!!

Mabe, not in English sky, but it defied gravity nicely for DaxFXs Judgement Day Victory.

So are you saying the Swift isn't capable of "high energy" aerobatics
{wash your mouth with a rum, kiss your EZ* goodbye, walk the plank and take a dip)

If she doesn't go over 100 feet (doesn't really get airborne) on the very first fling and no emotional or physical damage was inflicted then she's still pretty much a virgin.



yep - i have a rule too, and I used it on my P51D....

"If she does not go more than 30 feet, rolls over on her back, and destroys herself on a massive nose in... then she is still a virgin"!!
