There were some issue's with the angle of attack at one point in time and Ann Marie posted the fix and how to adjust the nose wheel. You might want to contact Great Planes to see if they have a written copy. You will need the high end of the power curve and plenty of runway. Hope this help's, Dave

Aviator2002:

I have the Great Planes Learjet and am very happy with its performance.

As stated, you do need a good engine up front. Ihave the supertiger 50 engine with the performance specialities muffler for extra rpms. Before I added the muffler, performance was marginal with the stock muffler, would hardly keep it airborne. I also put Hobbico retracts on it and really helps on flight. Looks good flying in the air-real lifelike. Dont expect to do much airobatics with this though, was not made for it !!!.

Give yourself alot of runway for take off and landing. Likes to stay on the ground until you have sufficient airspeed.

If I can be of further help-ask.

Cary
