Default RE: Modeltech .25 Arf build question

I've had this airplane for about 3 years and many, many flights. Mine is fitted with a Magnum .25 2 stroke and flies like a rocket sled on rails. The guys in the club have renamed it the Hyper Cub. It's a blast to fly. Takeoff was the hardest thing to get the hang of as it's heavy and requires a fair amount of speed before you rotate. Keeping a short and squirrelly machine going straight for long enough to lift off was a challenge until I put the rudder on dual rates. Takeoff run is done with the rudder on extra low rates. Once in the air, this airplane is pure fun. Landing is straightforward, just don't let it get too slow and put it down on the mains and let it roll out. You can't have more fun than that with yer clothes on
