Hey, thanks for the input! Sounds right to me, got a little confused when setting the elevons. I had them set "down" plaining with the top of the wing. So I'm assumeing that when I was trying to launch I had the stick all the way down trying to keep it in the air but in turn not letting it gain enough speed. (I think) lol. Haven't got to try it again yet, had to go to the hobby shop to get some duct tape! J/k When I was there I bought another ZAGI--400X with a brushless set up. WAAAAYY more pull than the XT. I bought it used and some of the letters are wore off the motor, does anyone recignize a brand -- LT??OARQMOTOR--.? Thanks again for the imput! MIKE-
