Anyone have one? I just recently built one and CANNOT get it to hand launch with a speed 400, 6x3 folding prop and 3 cell li poly. It just flips and crashes. With a GWS C box, 350 motor, 9070 prop and 3 cell it flies great, nice speed and plenty of take off power, just not sure of the motor life with a 3 cell. Most of the flight is 1/2 throttle or less, but still a lot to ask of that little motor. Any thought on a power plant for this?
Also- I found it flat spins VERY easy- found that the hard way when a motor cooked halfway through a turn (had a 1080 prop- way too big!!) and I couldn't power out!! Luckily no harm was done. Did another one during a low speed loop, but I gave it a bit of down elevator, pushed the throttle and waited for it to pull out- scary, but uneventful.
