Default Update on Creek Extra

t309,

I have not had any problems with my landing gear, although my wheel pants are mounted a little too high.... or the wheels are too high in the pants. The wheel pants are very close to the ground and this weekend, they caught a weed and stopped the plane on a slow landing. It ended up slowly tipping over on it's nose and then landing on it's rudder. Field repair and it's ok now.

Remcl,

The only way I've hear people can get the weight AND balance correct, is to mount all the servos in the center of the fus'. I have my rudder there, and still had to add 8+oz's of weight to the nose.

Good job getting your plane in! Mine landed in a tree the first flight.

Mike
