Hi,

I am new to this forum and very new to RC flying. I purchased a Skyfly recently and it appears to have excellent flight characteristics. After a recent crash I needed to replace the wing, and purchased another from Red-Rocket. Now I can't get the thing off the ground without a lot of up elevator. The controls appear to be fully functional and aligned and there is no other damage visible on the plane. The new wing fits like the old one did (hate those rubber bands). The only thing I can see is that the pusher prop is not perpendicular with the body, IE a few degrees out with the bottom of the prop closest into the body. It is not a huge amount but it is noticable. The shaft doesn't appear to be bent, and the motor appears snug in the plastic housing. I don't see any way to adjust the motor position, but I suspect the prop angle of attack as the cause.

When the Skyfly was new it took off from the ground at full trottle without any up elevator, really nice. Wind conditions are about the same, but a had launch now equals an auger without immediate sustained up elevaltor. The flight surfaces are all centered and return nicely. I just can't figure out what to change to get the bird back into the air!

I have a lot of experience with simulators, but Skyfly is my first RC plane of any kind.

Like to hear from all, THANKS!

George
