Default RE: The Tango 40 ARF from Hangar 9

just got a tango and flew it for the first time last monday. I was impressed with how much assembly is already done for you. The hardware looked decent too. I think I had everything ready in less than two hours. For ease of assembly, I give the Tango an "A". The model flew decent, but not that great. One thing I was surprised to see was how much plywood was used in construction. Im guessing ply is cheaper than balsa. It took me a little while to trim out in the air but nothing too difficult. I did notice the model tended to snap to the right at low speed. Anyone have the same experience? I had a thunder tiger pro .46in the nose and needed to add about 1.5oz of lead in the nose to get it to balance at about 4.5 inches from the LE. It did require some rudder to keep the nose pointing in the right direction, but thats no big problem. Overall, it wasnt a bad little ARF. I expected a little more as far as performance but its hard to complain for what you get for about $120.
