Here are some pics of the mod Idid to raise the front end, Ibasically took a coat hanger, cut it up, bent it up in to the correct shape, grinded it down so that it wouldfit in the stock slot forthe stock wheel,and duct taped the stock front wheel to it which is actually fairly stable. Yeah Iknow it looks a bit jacked but its just to test out to see if this even makes a difference in the angle of attack like opjose suggest me to change. with this setup, I can easily change the angle high enough so that the rear actually drags on the ground to being lower then stock (idk why I would wanna do that, perhaps for a lowrider look? haha ). In anycase, I'm having high hopes for this. One other thing Inoticed is that the motor and prop are more horizontal now as they actually use to be angled downward while taxing on flat ground on the stock setup which may have been contributing to why my plane was not taking off. Inever noticed this till opjose mentioned it in theprevious postand I found it to be true. I guess it helps give lift during flight but its not good when your trying to take off from the ground. Now the question is what angle should I set it at so that the wings have the most lift? wikipedia says most planes have it at 15degrees and anything above this with put it into a stall angle. Damn it, I wish my reciever worked so that I could go out and test this new mod out.
