Default RE: Suggestions for a trainer plane

Hi Mike,

First sentence of mine starts with thanks, well Thanks again for the suggestions. I have understood clearly about not leaving the receiver and the charger turned on to get discharged or drained out. I understood it pretty well. Now Come to Travel Adjustments and Sub Trims, yes they are with % and my plane's trims are not adjusted manually on 0Zero on my radio i have to move aileron trims right or left in order to adjust the plane during flight, my trainer drags or drifts on the right side, I have to move trim on my radio to make it fly straight, and on the other hand a lot of wind is there I dont know the speed but it gets pretty bad in the afternoon. So the point is my travel adjustments and sub trims are normally adjusted in minus -120% value like this, right aileron and elevator get outta setting sometimes elevator doesnt give enuff lift to the plane. This sunday I was flying my trainer due to wind I had a hard landing, my plane bounced and hit the ground second time and flipped over, I had a doubt engine came out, when I saw the wooden mounts of engine were broken, I tried to get another mount I got it but it seems a pretty cumbersome job, I got aggravated, and re-assembled my P51 Mustang to fly this sunday, just having a doubt that again right aileron would do trouble, but after completing nearly 10 to 12 solo flights over the trainer I feel much comfortable cos, despite of higher winds I didnt let the plane crash, I controlled it pretty well, and I think, I can control plane and won't let it crash, despite last sunday, one boy's small pattern plane crashed, one spitfire or zero plane crashed, and one helicopter crashed, mine was broken mount. As mustang is a precious gift of my wife, I didnt wanna put it on stake/risk but I feel myself that I would be more comfortable with tail dragger rather than tricycle landing gears. Im confident now, not over but Im gonna fly my mustang this sunday, I hope I would bring it in one peace, and I know I won't let it crash at any cost. I would keep you all posted after this sunday.Any other suggestions about sub trims and travel adjustment, I would really appreciate it.

Flying high without crash.
