Default RE: Lancair Comments

I have two. My first plane has over 20 flights (I stopped counting) on it. During the first few flights, I brought it in too slow with full flaps and had a not-so-smooth landing that tore out the right main landing gear. I re-installed it and have have no problems since that. I have not completed my second model but I am glassing the wing joint and making some mods to the servo installation inside the fuse. As I have stated before, this is a great looking and flying model. Sorry, but I think some of the wing failures were due to poor construction by the builder OR flying outside the intended envelope.

I hate to stir up the mud but, the pilot who posted that the plane was "Under Powered" is not flying a GP Lancair OR is use to flying a 40 size plane with a 60 size engine. The power plants recommended give very good scale flight characteristics plus some (check out the video in the RC reviews).
