The SPA3DT loves to fly nosehigh! That is what it was built for! I had a elevator control rod come loose in flight and it was no problem. It flew great at about 20 degrees nose up and all I had to...

RE: Question about the SPA3d

The wing needs the music wires to stiffen it up. I found that I had to drive 5/32 wire in with a hammer so there was no problem with it moving. 4 mm carbon fiber tubes work even better! thudriver

RE: Ground loop

It is very simple, hold up elevator until it is going pretty good and then you will have rudder control!:Dthudriver

RE: SPAD 3D with OS 52 4 Stroke?

It may be an illusion but in the picture the wing looks like it is too thick. The crease in the wing should be around 1/4 of an inch above the top of the channel. Just my opinion! :Dthudriver

RE: My SPAD3D is just too much FUN!!

Don't land a spa3d hot! It is much easier to control flying about 20 degrees nose up and controlling descent with power touching tailwheel first.:Dthudriver

RE: Taking off my SPA3DT?? Help..

In case all else fails, I just hold full up elevater until it flies. Full up elevator will hold the tailwheel on the ground and give you control to stop the spinouts.:Dthudriver
