Default RE: GP <span class=

The day was over-casted but calm,time to try the changes I made of the WF, With weight,(about 8grs. on the nose) and the repaired canard wing,new thrust angle on the motors, also the eight cell pack. Me to dumb to check the elevator direction on the canard, I few a Slow stick earlier and changed the servo reversing to the ...thats right the elevator. I held the WF in my hand and watched the control go up and down,so my brain told me! Reved her up a gave it a toss into the slight breeze. It was going good, until I gave a little up elevator, and in it went. But that was not enough of a flite, let me do it again, got a better hand launch and more height....How about some up.....in it went. DUH! Know its broken ,again (not the planes fault) ,So up is down and down is up, CANARD.I also change the battery pack back to seven cells, I don't know why but that eight cell actually made the motors run a bit slower,go figure? maybe the voltage? To high? After I removed it ,the motors ran up with much more thrust. When Its back together. I'll give it another chance...until then... E-Jim
