guys,
do what you have to to get it straight, it will be a MUCH better flyer. sure lots of planes go up not set up corectly. if you surf the RC sites at all you will run across the info that "SETUP IS EVERYTHING" line over and over. a well set up bird is a joy to fly and will allow more learning of advanced skills quicker than fighting a POS. and SAFETY is a BIG isssue hear as well. this is a skill that is learned by doing and the craftsmanship you develop by building or repairing corectly will make you a better modeler.
