what engine are you using?

I have this plane and have a 46FX up front and it balances perfectly at 8cm. I don't even have the Rx batteries up at the very front...It could go another 5 cm forward if needed.

Do you have the batteries pushed as far forward as they'll go and your receiver right up there behind it...?

It's a lovely plane to fly...I think it's a fantastic plane.

It's my first low wing and it'd very stable i feel...Possibly more stable than my trainer!

I was flying it bout 2 hours ago and it was very windy - when i took off it went straight into vertical and hover at bout 3/4 throttle and then i managed to get the nose down to level after a lot of panicking trying to get it to full throttle and concentrate on the tilting of the plane etc!

I just trurned to my friends and said that i was just trying to hover! lol I was lucky
