Pilot DJ2?
Again, sounds like you have a problem with YOUR PARTICULAR ENGINE, not a flawed product. Ever heard of a "bad one"? They do happen. If you're so set on calling the product flawed, then how to you explain the video on Marks site?
Why do I say that I think the single tail was more marginally powered than the twin tail? Simple, I reviewed both videos. One model staggered into the air on a paved run way on one attempted and couldn't even begin to roll under it's own power in another. Yet, the video of the actual DJ2 took off not only under it's own power, but from grass as well. Pretty cut and dry if you ask me.
I think we all understand, and appreciate, the fact that the model you have is causing grief, but when you reference a video which clearly shows how poor the performance is, yet it's not even the same model, one has to step back and say, "Stop, let's figure out what's wrong here so we can get this thing in the air the way it was meant to fly.".
If you don't want to do that, I'll give you $20.00 for the whole thing minus your radio and I'll throw in another $15.00 in for shipping.
