Default RE: ROO GROUND HANDLING PROBLEMS

COQUI, Gary is on the money, set up your Roo's rudder on low rate for take off and landing with minimal left/ right steering deflection and high rate use for taxi only. Or set rudder expotential so you have minimal movement around center stick, you should not need a gyro at all on the Roo IMHO. Also a tip when landing, as soon as you touch down stay off the up elevator altogether as ground effect will hold model down very well.... Landing the Roo consistently without any 'Roo' bounce should be the only thing that takes a bit of practice. All things being equal during take off roll and if using above guidelines you should have 'No Worries'

P.S. I also have a SkyJet and just love it.... Have you had any problems slowing it down for landing
