It's such an odd and un-conventional model that more than likely the post you found here on the RCU was the one that I started. Follow my suggestions on the CG, wheel alignment and control throws and you'll be ok.
I've flown mine about 10 times----and have yet to attempt an aerobatic manuever with it. Supposedly it will loop, but not sure about it completing an aileron roll.

Hi, we have been trying to figure out how to make this model fly. What is the best CG? It flies great once off the ground, but getting it off is the problem. Any suggestions? It wants to nose over.

AVOID IT AT ALL COST!

CG IS way off! I moved mine back twice and still I could not get the plane to flair. Thus damaging the landing gear blocks in the wing. Put aluminum gear on the bottom of the canard section for two more failed attemps to land it.

CG manual: 65cm aft of TE of canard,
2nd flight 75 mm aft of TE of canard,
3rd flight 81mm aft of TE of canard

Mine came with two LH wheelpants RICHMODELS and the selling dealer did not answer any Emails.

A total lack of support.

If they made these ARFs who flew the "Beta" prototype?
Why do they release this junque with out flying it?

The non-lingual instructions were so bad I would not use them in the bottom of a bird cage!

1) Use the "search" function of this forum and search my username, or "Quickie 40", there you will find the thread I started that has just about all you need to know about how to setup and fly this model and/or

B) Go to Ak-models.com and click on the forums there, go to "Pictures" and it is all spelled out for you, complete with all the pictures that some dude decided to include in his ebay auctions of this model.
