Default GWS Zero Problem

Hi Jim,

Here is a video of my Mustang:
http://www.silentflightonline.com/Si...mages/1207.wmv

It is also an amazing plane, a bit faster than the Zero, but not quite as manoeuvrable as the Zero.
I started off using the stock EPS300, but eventually fitted a Multiplex Permax 400 to the EPS300 gearbox, after the EPS300 motor bombed out in midflight. Just got tired of the 300 motors not lasting.
I have set the CG as per the instruction manual, at about 8mm's in front of the bamboo spar.
As mentioned previously, the motor is a 400, with a 2.33:1 gear ratio and a 8x6 GWS prop.
I also retimed the 400 by 6mm's since the video was made, so it's quit a bit faster now. I use 8 Nicad cells 600AE, and get 7 to 8 minutes of mixed flight, some fast, some cruising.
I removed the battery tray completely, and mount the battery pack directly on top of the wing with velcro.
It's a very exciting plane to fly, and looks so real!
