I was going to fly it yesterday, but it was too windy for me too. So, it hasn't been up in the air yet. I'll decide after I fly it wether or not the landing gear should move forward. Right now the plane balances perfectly, according to the manual.
I believe that it balances perfectly. Rctrax and I are just concerned that the main gear is almost right on the center of gravity. That would make it tend to nose over when taxiing on the ground. It would still fly fine, it just wouldn't taxi well and would tend to flip over on landing. Test it out by taxiing around some without taking off.
