Default RE: Help! E-flite pitts model 12 25e

Hi all,

maidened it today. Here it is: quit whining about this bird, this is a great model!!! Other than previous comments on parts and manual, I had a blast with this airplane...very impressive at the park. Agile, powerful, solid. And I don't give a s.... about the 3D stuff.

Here's some technical tips:

-I added 28 Grams of lead (4 pieces) in the nose for more authority when landind and less tail-heavy feelings

-Reduced the motor spacers about 7mm to reduce the space between the propellor and the cowling

-With an Eflite 25 motor and a Rhino 3700 MHA 4S 20-30C pack, this thing is on fire !!!
For some who are interested, you can buy this pack from Hobbycity; the size and weight is perfect for this model. With this kind of torque I can take off within 10 feet!

-My Zippy 3S 4300 MHA pack was also very decent, plenty of power but not a powerhouse like the 4s...
