Default RE: Elan w/ rabbit

Ya, you have to take it easy on climbout, but it still will get airborne in 100 feet or so. once you burn a bit down, and get it moving, it does just fine.. I think a perfect match would be the new Wren 100 at 22lb, but it has huge verticle on a 120 size motor. Your vertical wont be as big, but its still good. It will go 800 feet from a high speed pass..

Seal the aileron and elevator gaps with servo tape on the bottom, and the rudders too. that will help its stability. Before you build the elan, read the thread.. Its long but good. Find mine. It has a red radio board. I learned alot building it and heed where I put things. you will have to keep the weight back with the rabbit like I did.. follow my build layout and you will be doing wheelies down the runway on landing...
