help

Today I tried to fly my easy star for the first time and crashed all 3 launches. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I give it 3/4 - full throttle and a nice easy toss and the thing keeps nose diving after 30-50 feet from about 10-12 feet high. I'm using a 12 amp great planes esc, spektrum ar6000 reciver and 8.4v nimh 1400mah battery. Any Ideas ??? Thanks

RE: help

Hi Deano,

Need a little more info to help you.

Does the motor cut out?

Does the plane answer elevator? Are you giving her up elevator when she goes in?

Have you made sure all the controls throw in the correct direction?

Is the plane slowing down, stalling and falling, or is she flying to the ground?

Cheers,
Oz.
