Thanks for the help. Hmmm. You're also a grandpa!

This is my first electric anything. I've been flying 'fuel' for too many years. My son got into these Combat Wings (no motors) and was determined that I should try it - so much so that he gave me the kit (everything except the radio and charger). Now, he lives in CA and I live in TN. TN has no slopes over here in the western part! Thus the motor.

I put it all together and flew it once last weekend. It flew great although VERY sensitive to the controls. It flew just fine until the prop came off! Brought it in for a nice landing at my feet - dead stick! I'm waiting for new props.

There is a video on the Combat Wings site that shows a guy launching by holding it by the nose - palm up - with the motor running full bore. I guess it will pretty much fly out of your hand. I'll give it a try Saturday if the wind gods cooperate.

Thanks again.
Phil
