If I may suggest... push your entire wing assembly rearward until your CG mark on the wing does in fact balance, or is even just a smidgen nose heavy. In my case I had to push the...

Regarding the plane rising up when you speed up... that's pretty normal, even without any nose damage. Remember, if you built the plane per plan, the wing is higher in front than it is in...

<<It'll break for sure when I straighten it out, so I'm thinking about taking that 1" off the end of the stick and rebuilding it at the shorter length. Should be okay to shorten it that little amount...

They'll work, but... I made mine that exact size and wish I had made them a little bigger. I also flattened the wing some. When I built the wing I put a kitchen sponge about 3/4 inch thick,...

Just another two cents on the motor mount. There was a time when I kept doing a nose in landing and breaking the shaft on my motor. That is a PIA to replace. Then I switched to the GWS...

They don't' usually come with shrink tube. I've bought one or two motors that came with the connectors and in that situation they came with shrink wrap. That link I sent you also should...

I just bought the DX6i and am wondering what you mean by cycle the batteries.

Here's the two motor mounts I've used. The first one breaks a little easier than the second one. Since the price of the mount is only 1/3 the price of a prop, its seems pretty economical if you have...
