Default RE: Formosa Flight Problems

Hi Ronedog

I have the Formosa also. I was a little dissapointed with the power to. Mine came with 2 props. The slow flyer one (with rounded tips) woks best fro me. I used a 2cell Litho and it was sick, Changed to a 8 cell 9.6v NiMh 2/3 AAA and it is great. I imagine a 3cell LiPo would be even better. Get the voltage up to 9.6 or above, and of course make sure the prop is on in the right direction. Even so it's not a fast plane. I am thinking of my geared Astro 010 for it but don't think it would gain me much. Anyway the plane fly's geat.
