i am loving those mods cars! i look forward to adding them in slowly but i have a big problem at the moment! Yesterday i took her for her maiden everything looked okay so i got my friend to hand launch her for me and i was on the controls. It immediately went in hitting the ground nose in. It did not even get to fly for 2 seconds. I am guessing the plane is nose heavy i mean i was giving it full power and pulling back a lot on the elevator and it still went nose into the ground. Luckily nothing broke i only have to re-glue the nose so i got lucky. Please don't tell me i need help from an experienced pilot cause i am still going this alone for now. Anyway i am really disheartened i really thought she would fly What am i doing wrong?!? i am guessing my center of gravity is off? i now see i missed a link from wishykid that may help. Please help thanks!
