I want to thank Tattoo, Kraut, Chris, Swede and all the rest of the Spadonians. I have only been flying R/C for 6 months, having a great time. I Discovered Spads about 3 months ago and have spent hours and hours reading all the links and I am fasinated by the creativity of all of you! I built a pizzabox out of 6 mm . It was a tail dragger and I could never get it to go straight long enough to take of! I got mad and now it is tricycle gear! I will try it Monday. Got a good place to get coro here in Phoenix. I have 2,4,6 mm and they will dropship 2mm if you want. I has to be cutinto 2'by4' to ship. Thanks again Guys

Welcome to the world of SPAD, i'm glad we could be of asistance.

If your PBF has a rudder just practice taxiing around at low RPM controling where it goes, use a couple of rocks and do figure 8's.

as you feed in the RPM tou need to add ruder to counteract the motor torque, it also helps if you have the LG toed in a bit
