Since my last post here, Ralph is now the "former" PR/marketing guy for Banana Hobby. Don't know if he quit or if he got fired. As for the Xfly B-1B bomber, just 2 days after my last post, the...

Wow, this is a VERY old thread from 2008 and before yesterday, a year and a half ago.

I didn't realize that you were talking about the original, 2.0m Radian. This thread is about the XL. Sorry.

You should fly it stock just to see if the same characteristic is present. I've done the zip tie mod and the plane does not exhibit this tendency. There may be something else going on with your...

I thought about more rigid pushrods, but as they are internalized inside the wing, it would require some surgery to get at them. I won't know till I open up the servo bay and see what's in there. ...

Is your field paved? is there grass at the sides of the runway that you can belly land? Take off with wheels down on pavement and belly land on the grass if you can. It's a lot easier to belly on...

I flew my maiden and second flight with the stock prop on 3s. The plane flew just fine, although a little sluggish for my tastes. I think the stock prop would also do fine on 4s. I just like the...

The Mobius has been the most luck I've had with a camera stuck on my cap. I wish it had just a little bit of zoom. My Sony Webbie on my cap works OK, but it's really hard to dial in the proper zoom...

The 3s weighs 190g and the 4s weighs 240g. Both are pushed back as far as the partition would allow, so both are in the same position. Oddly enough, the 4s only required a few clicks of UP ELE to...
