Default RE: Flyeagle Rafale Pipe failure

With the p60 in it was a bit underpowered but since i have put the kingtech K80 it is the perfect match for this plane and its performance is awesome and the bifuriated pipe makes it sound really good.You certainly do not need much aileron movement on this plane.I think it is a fairly easy to fly plane and a peach to land especially if you have a little head wind you can almost land it on a sixpence piece or dollar .A small compact plane that can fit in the back of my estate car in one piece.As mine is the early model it only has a 1.9 litre fuel tank but i get longer flights with the kingtech than i ever did with a P60.I can fly for 6 minutes then think about landing and can have 71/2 minutes on my timer .The later version now have even bigger tanks i understand.I have changed the front pin in my front u/c twice now but that was only through my out landing .The other time was when i put my legs down the front nose leg pin missed the steering yoke and when i landed i had full left steering on and fell oof the runway into long grass which again bent the pin.Too stop this happening again i have installed my steering servo up front of the nose and have conventional cable links to the noseleg so i won't have that embarassing situation ever again.The mains still have the original pins in them and i do fly from grass as well as tarmac.
