I run the rods on top holes. If you have a comp. radio you can change the throw in the radio. I use dual rates. Low to fly high to land or to do crazy stuff at low speeds.
Remember that you can adjust the thrust angle on the FJ to help the plane fly level if your running a Large batt. and the CG is super nose heavy.
Buy added some up thrust it will make your servos not work as hard to try to keep the plane level.
With the mods. I have made on the FJ it has a problem slowing down to land. i have to land at 10-20 mph as it just wants to keep going.
On the next build-coming soon-I'll go with a little longer elevon so I can slow it down. May copy the org. foam elevon design - we'll see.
I can see the plane twitch when I shift into high rates at speed - hey you got to know what happens
FLY on
HOW about some more vids.
