Default RE: Kyosho DC-3 Help!

Before you go to that much trouble, check the wings. Mine had 4 degrees of wash-in in one wing and 2 degrees of wash-in in the other. Even though I raised the ailerons to compensate, it was a tip stalling fool. The other problem with that plane is it's tendency to jump straight up on take-off. Oh yeah, it is also 1 1/2 pounds heavier than the advertised weight.

I knew of four or five that did not survive their first flight. I had two flights before I sold it cheap to a guy who promised not to try and fly it.
