Well, I finally got my C17-E Biplane in the air, after about 4 crashes where I re-glued a wing back together, re-glued the 380 moter back in after it popped out (nose dive), and removed landing gear as it busted off 2 times anyway.... I wish I would have started with an easier plane.. I do get good hand thro take-offs now, but at full throttel, I can't seem to get mush altitude (Even with a little up rudder), and easing into turns with slight rudder and slight up elevator, I havn't had enough altitude to keep from crashing... I'm not sure how much more punishment my C17-E Air Wecker plane will take!!!

Does anyone think that a larger prop on this 380 would help give me any more speed, or do I need to go to a larger motor, or just give up with this plane and go for a more common trainer plane?
