Default RE: Ebay Rafale...?

Well the F35 is doing great its a little Easier to fly than the Rafale Cant do a slow glide to land with it have to come in hot or you lose too much air on the control surfaces to keep it level. But the Rafale has a lot of slop in the control linkages the horns have holes to large for the linkages. so it wants to rock a little when your flying it. But man it lands itself compared to this new plane. My instructor Greased a couple of landings with the new plane yesterday. Im still working on getting the nose to come down to set up for a landing before im too far down the field.


Ive updated this since I first posted I Upgraded the Exceed F35 with 2 servos added to the tail control surfaces. The serperate elevator control Made this plane go from Good to Excellent. It just takes some getting used to. You have to push the nose down to land it to maintain some airspeed. It went from difficult to land to easy after the upgrade. Its stable even in 15 MPH winds now. Great Plane. One negative is the Radio that comes with it is not even good enough for this plane I just shelved it. So if you decide to buy one just get it minus the Radio Equipment and use your own. Im using an old Spektrum DX6 and this thing ROCKS.

As Far as the Rafale thats been a dissapointment I upgraded the motor and I guess I went with the wrong one or the fan blade is not right. Its barely faster than stock. But still Fun.
