Default RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

Hi Jofunk,

Great to hear you got your 1/4 scale Panther flying. I saw the video and you need to learn to land with the flaps. The Panther won't pitch up when you lower the flaps. What I do is this, take the plane up to 100 foot. Slow it down to where it is just starting to loose altitude. Lower the flaps and add a little power to keep it flying. Fly it around the pattern for one complete lap. Set it up for landing reduce the power until it starts to loose altitude and make your landing. If the CG is correct, it will slow down when you flair it and it will touch down just fine.....
