I have a T-Hawk that is VERY experienced w/crashing. In fact in about 20-30 attempts it has never had a successful flight. The problem is that it seems to have a very limited transmitter range at about 200' the signal is lost and it flys it's own way to the next crash. I've replaced the reciever to no avail. On the ground I can only get about 150-200' away before it stops reacting to my inputs. It seems to me to be very difficult to keep the plane this close to me and every time I've lost control. It certainly is a great testiment to how robust this plane is, many spectacular crashes that have left me amazed as I reach it intact. Transmitter has had fresh batts. in it a couple of times for no improvement.

I've been considering buying a "real" system, and hear that the Multiplex Easy Glider Elec. may be the way to go (closer to real anyway). Continuing to rebuild the T-Hawk and replacing parts w/o any improvement is not at all rewarding.

I'm surprised (and a bit encouraged) to hear that many on here like the T-Hawk, any advice as to what I should do?

My interest at this stage is to take advantage of the killer slopes and thermals on my property.

I always appreciate input!
