have recently purchased a zagi tazz and went to fly it but every time i launch it, it just spins upsidedown and crashes into the floor has anyone got any ideas please as i am quite new to this does it need balancing or something but it doesnt say anything about this in the instructuions any help would be appreciated cheers

If I remember correctly...my Zagi XS balances at 8" back from the nose.....

and you really need to throw it to get the initial air speed...after that it hauls

Here is a review that describes some set up....

I just watched the video on that plane! MAN that thing can scream.

yea in the video not mine lol

Make sure your prop is not on backward, may sound silly but I see this mistake a lot. The prop still pulls in the right direction if put on backward but is very inefficient. Also, if in doubt about balance, make it noseheavy until you get the hang of flying it.

Tell me how it flys, I want something like that to fly when i don't go to the big field.

Throw it hard and straight, not too nose high. Keep it on that heading until you get some air speed then make your first turn. If you try to turn to early, you can stall the wing and flop to the ground. This happened all the time with my Zagi when I first started to fly it.
Good Luck

ok thanks for that. i know u have to balance the wing from front to back (8 inches from nose) but do you have to balance it from side to side as well as if there is more weight to one side it will turn it wont it ? it doesnt mention this in the instructions though

just been to try it again still cant get it to fly waht am i doing wrong??? its doing my head in. do u launch with or without power?

With....full throttle baby.....

Launch her like you are holding a tray on the underside and high. The with FULL throttle just push her upwards hard/forcefully. Then let her climb. Mine was only giving me about 70 mph on a level pass. No way it is going to hit 85 mph! I find the stock prop is best. Tried the APC props and they were not impressive. You want good fun? I used my Tazz set up with a Multiplex Microjet, that is fast!

I love the Zagi when you catch a thermal, she will just float all day up there. Very nice flying wing.

lotta guys side launch those babies...........cant get it in the air?? hummm if you have to get a friend to throw it for ya then youll have both hands free till ya get it, also make sure its built to spex
