I bounced a bit as I ran out of elevator but luckily I was very close to the ground at the time so zero damage.
From now on I think I will be landing without flap at all as well as taking off without any.
The strip I fly from is grass and not that long but I find it is sufficient to be able to do this, and as said in my opinion I think landing without flap is a lot safer giving the tendency of this model to "run out!."

With the x2 .55AX motors on board it certainly is not lacking any power at all either!
that's great, how much runway run does it take you on take off?
