Default RE: Taking off my SPA3DT?? Help..

Thanks for the advice guys,
Tattoo thanks for you very cool invention. I absolutely had a blast flying my spad3dt, I couldnt believe I found it to be more fun than my U CAN DO.
To be honest, yeah I think my rudder pushrod was a tad sloppy and that may be part of it. I did toe in my landing gear and had the wheels about 6 or 7 inches apart.
Although I felt the 1st plane was well built, I didnt build it as meticulously as I will build this one. This time I am going with carbon fiber pushrods to get precision control over the throws, use my 9C so I can use expo and I am going to try to build the quality into it that I put into my balsa planes. Last plane was on a standard Aitronics 4 Channel. As fun as it was "thrown" together I cannot wait to see how much better a precisely built, balanced and trimmed spad will perform.

I cannot WAIT to get my next one in the air, I was absolutely taken aback at how manueverable and fun it was to fly. Best part was flying low and slow with confidence and doing outside loops 10' off the ground and actaully being able to touch the tailwheel on a harrier.
Im hooked!!
