Default Do you like your Pizzaz???

Thanks for the replies!

Tattoo, I'm not totally "anti spad", but I have fun teasing the newer fliers in our club! Personally, I figure it's better to fly a light plane rather than a "tough" one. Maybe the Spads can survive "soil sampling", but nothing flies as good as a light, balsa plane! Actually, I have a SPAD downstairs that Wingman made for me!

Back to the Pizzaz...

I agree with all the other posts. Mine falls off to one side after a turn or two in a torque roll. I'm going to calculate what percent of the MAC I'm at when the CG is at 4.25". I had a Global Raven funfly that would hover when the CG was WAY back. I had to program a landing mode (some down elevator & up spoilers at a certain throttle threshold) to get the thing down on an empty tank.

Too bad it's a one-piece plane. I could ship it off to someone that isn't as picky as I am.

But I'm not giving up yet! That's what makes this hobby fun.
