BigEd~ Thanks for the reply...I have flown the slo-v several times without any problems. I didn't think 2 inches of the wire would make that much of a difference...and i have found that you do need to use both the throttle and elevator to control altitude, especially as the battery wears down, i have to throttle up to help keep the altitude. It has been a great first plane. I have gotten it caught in a tree and grazed some branches on another with only a little tear in the wing, which i easily fixed with tape. I have upgraded to the 1180 prop and a 7-cell batt. which does make for a big difference. I have however broken THREE of the gws props...1 in the first tree, 1 due to pilot error, and 1 due to the wind... glad I bought three the first time and i have since made another trip for 3 more. But so far, about 10 successful flights and 3 loop on the 1180 prop and 7-cell batt.

RedGN~ Thanks also for the reply. I did read that on another post, and did figure out the servo cables are threaded. Instead of moving them, i moved the wing one notch up from the furthermost rear position which made a difference.

All in all, good plane. highly recommended as a first flyer airplane. I am probably going to put the OEM prop back on and teach my Fiance to fly.. For me, i have the 1180 prop, 7-cell batt, and the servo cables in the elevator horn as close to the rear wing as possible in only about 10 flights!
