Default RE: Seagull Decathlon

Next time I get the wings on it I will see if I can get that for you.. I have a Mag .70 4s in mine with a 13x6 APC . I can fly it around half throttle just fine.. However when I go to full throttle the engine speeds up but nothing seems to change with the plane... Apparently there is a lot of drag with this pland.. I am thinking of trying a 14x4 as soon as I get a couple of gallons of fuel through the engine.. On take off I have started adding a little up elevator for control and it has prematurly jumped in the air a couple of times and momentarily just seems to hang there... The 70 seems to have enough power however to pull it out.. Usually on take off I like to advance the throttle as quickly as possible to get the tail off the ground for steering... That doesn't seem to work with this plane.. It just torques to the left off the runway... As I tweak this plane out and "we" get use to each other I am enjoying it more and more...
Got any pictures ?
