Default RE: RE: Spad3d Questions

I am on my third SPA3D and feel I am finially getting the hang of it. I had flown a DPS a lot before and there is a lot of difference in them. What I had a lot of trouble with was the SPA3D doesn't glide well at all. At low throttle settings they fly good but at idle they fall like a brick. At idle they start wing rocking and will crash unless throttle is applied, or that is what has happened to mine. I guess what I am saying is they need some throttle to fly where as my DPS will glide around just fine at idle and still be flyable. Where on my DPS if I got in trouble I could just chop the throttle and everything would just slow down, on the SPA3D it's coming down pretty fast and you don't have hardly any control unless you put it in a dive and get some air speed. Just something to think about before that first flight. By the way they are a blast to fly and will get your heart pumping every flight guaranteed.
