Default RE: avistar

Ditto on what a great plane it is. One thing I did was trash the suplied tires and got some good Dubro tires. It makes landing a little less bouncy. Balance it from front to back and from side to side. If its perfectly balanced, it will fly super sweet. I had the OS .46AX on mine. I was even getting it to hover some, and rolling while doing it. If you have an instructor you can't go wrong with this plane. With the large engine, its very easy to recover from stalls. But to make it easier than what I had, I did not want to take time to move the batteries to balance and just added weight. It worked well, but with the extra two ounces I added too the tail, it made it need to be landed just a tad faster than normal. But I love bringing it in at about 30mph and just trying not to bounce it on touch down.
