Hey Flybug, me again from 1/2a...I have that trainer and I have only flown it once...I have many 1/2a planes but this was my first .40 ..it does not have ANY dehidral to it, a flat wing does not have the self righting ability of a regular trainer....I had to contact raidentech about the CG because the instructions made no sense...the plane was actually for sale at $70 when I got it on the bay for like 40 plus 20 for s&h....its pretty well built ...the reason for the only 1 flight..it was a bit squirrely because of the elevator setting was off on the Tx and the trim couldnt take care of it in the air..I landed it fine,,but the battery pak is also bad and since I fly the small stuff I dont have and 600-1000 mAh bats laying around..my biggest is a 250mAh ALWAYS use a Voltwatch in every plane.......Rog
You will recall that I recommended you get in to the air with your .049s..go with the 1/2a trainer or the LS150 I told you about (search on 1/2a forum) Its totally different to throw a small plane that is $5 worth of balsa and watch it fly away,,run it up high and it runs out of fuel after 4-5 minutes and you glide it in for a deadstick belly landing in the grass,,way more fun than stressing over every move of a 5 pound missle(yes to a newbie a trainer with a .40 is a missle)..still my advice is the .049,,pm me maybe I can help get you started ,,I do cut out some kits on my bandsaw....Rog
