Default The Spad has gone to war!

I maidened the spad today! It practically leaps off the ground, and flies like a trainer with the exception of landings being something to work on. It likes to nose over easily just like the real ones did.

Good going, have you ever tried either the Spad or Camel on real flight?? That was the hardest plane to land on G-2 on the whole system. Ihaven't tried an RC one yet but they do like to flip!! Ihave seen a few at the field and they look like a hand full on the ground.

Yes, it is the great planes ARF. I went with the recommended great planes motor/ESC combo, but got my batteries and servos from Hobbycity.
