Good luck and give us a flight...

RE: GWS Fokker Monoplane

I have that plane but never built it. With the 350, might as well go with the ailerons.
How did it fly with the IPS system? With the right Li Poly, it should fly for over an hour.
Looks like a...

RE: Underpowered Electrics

Make sure the wing and tail is still aligned, and the motor thrust angle did not change. Also that the battery is still in place for ballance. Check the prop for damage.

RE: PLEASE SAY SOMETHING TO STOP ME FROM QUITTING THIS HOBBY!!

You should get in the building when you cant fly.
Try a small rubber free flight kit, great fun.
Hang in there and good luck on the wind condition.

RE: Lil'Roughneck - what motor/prop?

I always remove the battery from the plane after flight.
Electric planes can be built lighter, plan on that from the start.
Good luck and keep in touch.

RE: Lil'Roughneck - what motor/prop?

No John, the plane is not to heavy. You will need at least 12 oz. of thrust to fly well. With a 7 inch prop, a brushless motor is probably needed.

RE: Lil'Roughneck - what motor/prop?

Verry nice plane. It would be better if it weighs under 16 oz. Then it would fly good on an ips dual motor with 4:1 gears and about a 8060 prop, real inexpensive.
