I am ENCOURAGED but distressed to read this posting. I am a VERY OLD TIME R/C modeler and I had just posted in the ARF/RTF that it is HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE that a model such as the XtraEZE2 "MARKETED AS A RTF for beginners" should have such serious incidence/balance problems.....
The post was read and GROSSLY missinterpreted by certain FALSE EXPERTS that unfortunately now exist in this hobby.
This post reveals that this is indeed a TRUE situation with this plane.
I have in my hands just such an example, purchased by a prospective beginner who just abandoned the sport, and whose model was also abandoned in my possession. This man just NEVER had a chance at flying.
With 40+ years of experience I am STILL working on this darn airplane, even the engine needed the whole carburetor replaced and close to 10oz. of weight added in the nose, plus many adjustments in incidence and balance, and throws , etc etc.
It makes me SICK to see marketing offers like this.
It goes AGAINST the intent of the supplier, I believe.
Instead of adding people to the hobby, it actually turns them off.
Even after a LOT of work, the plane STILL climbs , HARD.....but I am going to tame this beast, if it takes me all year.
SORRY, but this is the TRUTH !

ps A little ADDED explanation is needed : this beginner had assembled the plane "badly" and some of the mistakes were not correctable without breaking off glued parts, etc etc....so those problems needed to be corrected first. The tail feathers are still missaligned, but the basic defects in this plane were already detectable 4 or 5 years ago when it was a brand new offering in the market, and I run into these problems even back then.
Y'all can plainly see that this is not my FAVORITE airplane...!
