hey guys, maidened mine last week. first impession was that it felt a little heavy at 31 oz. I powered it with an AXI 2808/16 and a castle creations 35. right off the ground it was a rocket with a couple of clicks on the trim it flew nice. It flew like a much larger airplane. Although i liked the overall performance i thought the roll rate was a little slow for the size of surfaces. Stall turns were fantastic. I decided to try an approach while i still had battery left and boy did you have to smoke it in to keep it from tip stalling. Took back off and flew for a few more minutes before coming back in. This time i came in with flaps and power for a much slower approach. much better way to land this beast.

Flew it again this morning, and had a little problem . Was in the air for about 2 min when i came out of a spin and in the downline added power with no response. Then all of a sudden just did one snap to the right. I had no control of anything. At this point it still had no power but i had elev,ail, and rudder but only 40 ft of alt and was headed away from lz. At this point i just tryed to pick up some airspeed ad put it down as nice as poss. At about 5 ft at tipstalled but thankfully just hit the nose and landing gear at the same time. Not too much damage but i dont think i will waste any more time at this point. my prodigy just flys so much better.

MY elev servo is on the opp side of the direction of the snap. It was just a shame they overbuilt this plane because i feel it would be so much better if it wasn't such a pig. I dont know if the throttle problem was a speed control problem or a radio problem. Once i got to the wreckage i tried the controls and everything worked but the throttle. after a couple of cycles on the throttle stick it worked fine. The radio i am using is a spektrum and have never had ANY problems of ANY kind. Just baffling to me as there was plenty of airspeed when it snapped.

My prodigy only weighs 20.5 oz and has no ill effects other than a little weak landing gear bracing. I think i'll spend a 160 bucks and try an icon 312. Keith
