I learned quickly not to give any elevator on this plane as it will leave the ground before it is ready and I have cartwheeled it twice due to this. I will try the rudder bumping next time and see if that helps. On my other planes, I just give a touch of right rudder as the plane picks up speed just at the point the rudder leaves the ground, and on this one, when I do that, it veers right, but not right away, so bumping sounds like the trick to use. Maybe its because of the short fuse that I have difficulty with it as all my other planes are long in the fuse.


Be careful with bumping the rudder. I had better luck by "leaning" on it.

The T-Clips has the least forgiving ground handling in any model that I have encountered. It does not react well to sudden control inputs, when on the ground.
