Default RE: GP <span class=

Flew mine today as well, 1st flight very bad, an extreme tail heavy bird. I concealed about 6 grams of weight under the front lower canard and it flew great! This thing climbed like crazy and gracefully did circuts, I did a few close passes and my flying buddies were impressed. In very low wind it'll fly in real tight, I flew in a church lot behind my house. The secret to taming this one is unfortunately adding weight to the front. The thing looks like an antique in the air. I was amazed at it's ceiling altitude, the two motors make it climb way better than my GWS 300 size planes. Hopefully it's nice tommorow, I'd like to get some photos. This was my first canard plane. Add the weight and you guys will love it.
