Default RE: Any help?

Update:

We have two of these Exceed Cubs flying now, they indeed have a low angle take off and required to fly them out aways before daring to make any inputs, takes awhile for this one to reach airspeed, but its docile once inflight...

My newbie flyer we decked in until realizing the required long low flight out, you don't dare nose it up or turn right away or your doomed...

Battery cycling is important, on first charge run the battery down with the motor on then re-charge, it will take the full 3 hour period with the stock charger but careful and monitor the battery, it will get nice and warm but unplug before it gets hot...

Advantage with an experienced rc pilot is things will be correctly trimmed, found both were tail heavy out of the box required some nose weight, the balance is around 1 3/4 inches from the leading edge, don't go too nose heavy here, it needs all the help it can get on the launch, but not too far back to lose control...

Nearing over dozen flights and I like this for just $69 complete, hard to beat..at first it had issues on the take off, but inflight its a cutie..<>.

Launch is critical with this one, I strongly suggest hand launch, tho I did pull off one pavement take off, on the launch throw it abit firm but straight out level, no nosing up here please or down she comes, is simply a straight throw, later after mastered, a fine tuned hand launch you push off slightly underneath but everything kept level, again absolutely no nosing up, it increases the altitude at or just above head high improving the required distance needed for reaching airspeed, wait till its quite aways out before inputs, and your flying !!

BEST ..<>...
