I just got back from taking the hawk out. Throttled up as much as possible before the prop stall. First two tosses failed. Not enough power. Was ready to chalk it up as a learning experience but I wanted one more toss. A bit more throttle and up she went. Albeit slowly. Couldn't get up more than 30 feet, and she was cruising at approx. 20mph. An attempt at a significant pitch produced an immediate stall. As I hadn't flown the hawk with ailerons yet, I attempted to bank. FAIL. Full left or right aileron produced more of a yaw effect, and I couldn't turn without rudder. Ailerons are about 14 inches long, 2.5 inches wide. Secured with strapping tape. Plenty of throw. A bit of a gap between the wing and control surface. Flight time was about 6-7 mins. She landed beautifully. What's the problem with my ailerons? [&o]


I've since removed the motor (I'd rather not say how it was secured [:-]). I'm picking up a sweet combo from grayson hobbies for the hawk. [link=http://www.graysonhobby.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=414]Combo[/link]

Thank you for your responses to my other questions. It's all starting to come together.
