Status: offline 		My Razor does not want to fly....is there something special that I am suposed to do? my cg is at 7.75" from the tip of the nose. The plane is right 20oz but it only has a single layer of color tape and no fiber tape (it weighed 23oz built as the plans say). What am I missing? Any sugestions would be great...

Status: offline 		My problem was not the prop but waaaaayyyy to much surface throw. Once I reduced it to what I thought was to little to do anything I was able to get it up in the air with no problems. I spoke to one of the founders of Trick R/C and he said that he flies his with only 60% of the recomended throws as it was to fast and twichy. Well I don't agree (execpt in those 45mph nose dives into the ground) most of the time. The first 2.5-4 minutes on an 8 cell 700mah pak is great and very quick but the it slows wwaaaayyyy down for the remainder of the flight to the equivlent of my E-starter at full throtle ( in otherwords....not very quick). Anyways, it works great and I am convinced that I should have re-started my flight career with an EPP foamy.
