roodester gave some real basic, and good information.
Before I power up any model, I hand toss it into some nice long, soft grass, to see how it will glide. The clip-wing
T-craft may be too big for you to toss fast enough to "sail" or glide to the ground.
Then try to taxi it around a little, speed up on taxi, untill you know exactly what it will do with advanced throttle.
Tiny "lift-offs" are a real good way to "get the feel of what is happening" with each of the controls.
I hope that Ice is real smooth, or you are going to be doing some covering repairs at least.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]
