ORIGINAL: Dav0012
not even just my dad, and i have more experience flying than he does, as i managed to get him into the hobby after i started, i tried flying it and ive flown as i stated the other cmpro models including there 2 bigger size extras. the landing was the problem yes, but no matter what i tried, nothing would slow this plane down aside from cutting the throttle as soon as i turn into the landing leg and glide it in, had the throttle as low as possible before it would cut anyhow and still no better. and as soon as it comes near the ground it just keeps on flying, try to grease it in on landing and as soon as it touches the ground its staight back in the air again. funny thing ive found with extras they dont come in for landing at all like my giles. dunno how you managed to make yours similar, coz this plane was an absolute pig.
"Dav0012's dad may not have been used to this"
From your discription doesn't sound like a "problem" at all.
That it floats on by is GREAT IMHO. It indicates that the wing loading is low and the plane is not settling down because of it's speed.
It also indicates that it is not properly "propped" as you are unable to get it slow enough to land...
Been there, done that with this plane.
You just need a lower pitch wider prop with the engine you are using.
That doesn't make it a "pig" flying. Quite the contrary this is a good thing.
My Giles did the same thing btw.
I had exactly the same problem with my Funtana 90S until I got it properly propped.
Not intending to be demeaning, but it really does sound like you are not used to the "floaters".
