There's nothing wrong with your servo setup...beucase when you shut off power, it moves.lol
Yeap get a different prop after your done taxing it around. an unbalance prop is not too healty for your engine.
Put a piece of hose or tubing over whatever stick your using as a chicken stick to protect your future props.
Use 10x6 or 10x7 until you learn how to make softer landings...you'll save money on props.
It'll fly at less than 1/2 throttle on a .40 LA. You have plenty of power
Just a suggestion...I mounted my rear needle valve vertically..it didn't effect the tunning.
I refuel through the muffuler line.
i did that because i lost too many rear needles. Generally when it crashes, the fueslage will break the bracket.
There's room for you to sholve foam in the tank bay..just cut the foam into smaller pieces.
Put foam between the wing and saddle if havn't done so.
I use new rubber bands every weekend.
make sometype of a mark on your windsheild and wing. it'll help you mount the wing strighter at the field.
Put stripes , checkers , or whaterver on the bottom of your wing. At 2-3 mistakes high all you'll
see is white. it'll be less strain on your eyes. The most I could fly at first was 5 mins at a time then hand the
TX to my instructor,,becuase my eyes wernt use to focusing on a moving object at a distance.
The model will seem really touchy or fly really fast at first..you don't worry about max rmp at the moment.
Try to keep the gaps to a minimum.
You can use scotch tape later on to seal the hinge line, when you feel there's not enough throw for you.
As i said...it'll feel like there's too much throw at first
