finally back from travel and hope to be home for awhile. Have been flying twice since i got back home. both times with the parkzone typhoon3d All good flights except one. I was on final aprroach and looking good got about a foot off the ground and it just rolled to the right. There was no wind, perfect flight and conditions. Foam broke just behind the engine mount. LHS is a stone throw from the field, so I took it in, hot glued it back together and went for another flight. This time flew well, with no problems with the landing. When I got home I was checking everything over and noticed the the elevator servo was really tight! When I grab the elevator and try to move it, it will not budge. I can move it with the servo horn. I'm thinking it's too tight and might have been what caused the crash landing.
Anyway. I'm selling my Tucano, I luv the plane, the way it flys, and looks, but want to get a twist 40 with a 55 Ax two stroke. Will most likely get the twist this week. Can't wait to fly that. Other than that I will be hopefully flying the trainer this weekend. I don't feel I'm ready to solo nitro yet. Getting with an instructor this weekend. Although all the guys at the field are saying, if I can handle the typhoon, then nitros will be no problem. I beg to differ. cause there is so much more to be taught and learn than simply flying. Things like, Tx setup, mixing, Throw adjustment, trim adjustment, battery charging, balance etc.... etc.... I'm getting the hang of all that, but want to be one of those guys (like alot of you) that can just look at the plane and tell for example,; that the elevator or aileron rods need to be adjusted. In my opionion I will be a good pilot when I understand all I need to know to fly safely. And that will take some time, and all that is before I'll even think about hovering, harriers, etc... Although with the typhoon, I am tempted.
