RE: Top Flite Staggerwing
O.K. well thanks for the lurk:
So after getting the OS twin dialed in using a 17X8 Zinger, I actually had not even ballanced this plane yet. So placing everything as far forward as possible , receiver and glow battery right up against the firewall (drum roll please!) picked it up 5 1/2 from the leading edge (bottom wing) and that bloody tail dropped so fast it just about made a dent in the concrete. Weight 19 lbs. So not wanting to add weight to this plane, heres a pic of what I am doing.
Opinions please::: is the heat from the engine be a problem to the reciever battery ????
having said all that; I'm expecting a test flight this friday
