Hi all, i think this is the best forum for this,

Today was finally perfect for flighting my Wing dragon sportster (begin air in other parts), after purchasing it in winter and never flown fixed wing before...(apart from FMS sim)

So off to the rugby pitches i went, nerves janglying, ready to throw a few £££ into the air.

The first launch after the preflight check (i fly heli normally,so im used to preflights), half power, straight hand launch.....................nose dive, hmmmm, reset wing

Second launch, 3/4 power, started to dip alittle, but with alittle up elevator. off she went, gentle laps twice, then a gentle belly flop which caught a wing and very gently rolled nose over into the grass, with throttle off

Third launch, same as before fly the last of the battery out and gently landed after a couple of faster laps and the figure eights, and evn low fly bys


The only questions is, after the third very gentle landing, i went to check the controls, but nothing, reset and tried again (servos did twitch to centre), so the first thought was id damaged the electronics (somehow?)........so i let the battery cool down (it was getting very warm), and retryed, all movement returned to servos, had i drained the battery that much ?
But still a very good first flight !!!!

Also whats considered a good range? i flew to around 700ft radius, on the last two laps the motor glitched a little, was this due to battery power running low maybe (it was its first real discharge)

any advice would be really welcome..
